This week Manson Family member Susan Atkins was denied an early compassionate release from prison by the California Board of Paroles. Atkins has less than three months to live due to having advanced brain cancer. But in August 1969, Atkins was young and healthy when she took the life of actress Sharon Tate, 26, who was eight months pregnant. Prior to the slaughtering of Tate and her house guests, Tate begged for the life of her unborn child.

Poll: Do you think any of the Manson Family members convicted of murder will ever leave prison alive?

1) No
2) Yes
3) Undecided
