Now, there's one guy that's at the center of this. It's Charles Manson. He ordered all of this done. to ignite a race war, even though, how would any of that do it?

Okay. Okay. Which he started getting at the free clinic in San Francisco. So lots of it floating around. Some descriptions of the family at Spahn Ranch is that people were basically taking acid on a daily basis, which by the way, was also a potential problem with Linda Kasabian's testimony since she also admitted to being high most of the time and also thinking she was a witch. All right.

So you want to put her... Okay. Where do you want to go with that? See, if Manson wasn't Manson, if he hadn't acted like such a complete, if he hadn't actually acted like the crazed hippie psycho goofball that Bugliosi painted him as being, then Kasabian's testimony wouldn't have been as strong because you could, I mean, the first thing against her is you've got an immunity to

for telling the story the prosecution wants. That's a little iffy. And we won't even bring in the witch and the drugs and being in love with Bobby Bosley. So if Manson had been dressed like you, sitting there in a suit and tie, and behaved himself and spoken normally, this isn't to say that he wasn't guilty as hell.

So what he supposedly did was to inspire all of these killings.

And I think that's probably, you know, sort of beginning with the Hinman killing. He told them to go over there and get the money, one way or the other. I don't know whether it's clear whether he told them, if you don't get the money, kill him. But Hinman's dead. And then... You might also have seen the value in terms of having copycat killings as a way of throwing off any other kind of blame.

The other story you get is that one of the people who had lived at the Cielo house where Sharon Tate was before was a record producer by the name of Terry Melcher. Melcher supposedly, as the general story goes, had welched on a deal with Manson in terms of a record contract.
