SAN QUENTIN, Aug. 8 – Bruce Davis, was denied parole today at a hearing held at San Quentin. This marks the 28th time Davis has been denied parole since he first became eligible in 1977.
Davis, 81, is currently serving a sentence of seven years to life for his role in the murders of Gary Hinman and Donald “Shorty” Shea.
Davis has been found suitable for parole seven times since 2010, but each decision was overturned during executive review.
Davis will not have another hearing until 2027.
Still find it curious how LVH walks among us while guys like Davis and Bouseleil still languish. I don’t advocate for them but am mystified by the inconsistencies in our system. One thing that can never be denied is that Leslie went along with the others on the second night knowing full well the horrors that she was about to participate in. I wonder if, wherever she is tonight, she is reflecting upon her involvement in the terrifying weekend she and her cohorts were preparing to orchestrate fifty-five years ago at this very moment. Any thoughts?
Rest in peace Steven, Jay, Abigail, Voytek, Sharon, unborn baby Paul, Leno and Rosemary. You will never be forgotten.
Good point Sean. I venture the answer is LVH is much smarter than Davis and when you have better attorneys, well, there you go for the seemingly disparaged justice. I doubt very much LVH is or has relived her part in the crimes she committed let alone feel remorse, especially now since she has her freedom and doesn’t have to play the part of redemption.
It is galling these victims have been in their graves for decades…never to live again. And people like LVH who put them there walks among us. But it is what it is…shamefully.
Leslie never should have been paroled! None of them should be! Letting Leslie free was another gigantic slap in the face to the LaBianca family! Bruce and Bobby need to stay right where they are
I have a hard time understanding why someone like LVH can be released but someone like Bruce Davis can not. A sin is a sin but, in my option, LVH was greater.
He wouldn’t know what to do if he got out… he’s good…
She’s out because she’s a woman. Maybe the parole board thinks that LVH is less of a threat because of it. The men will die in there. And Tex? He’s a walking dead man.
Agreed. Another perplexing issue is the question of Steve “Clem” Grogan, who has been a free man since 1985! Why, for instance, was he released into society when he participated in the murder of Shorty Shea, like Davis, and also accompanied the killers on the second consecutive night of slaughter? Although the murder in Venice Beach that Manson ordered was ultimately thwarted, Grogan most certainly was culpable for conspiracy, like everybody else in the car that night.
I’ve often surmised that Tex, Bruce and Clem were Charlie’s preferred henchmen and were equally capable of merciless murder. But when one reflects upon the facts of the case, it is easy to see that Charlie recognized in Tex certain “qualities” that the other two lacked. Namely, a propensity for extreme and wanton violence. It is apparent in the 1973 film “Manson” that Davis and Grogan are nothing more than a couple of goons, aping Manson and spouting his nonsense and various anti-establishment philosophies. Tex Watson, on the other hand, was the real deal. A purely methodical and completely vicious slayer.
Exactly, now I don’t know exactly what happened to Tex when he was young but he was merciless when it came to killing peopke
