Seventh in a nine-part series.

A member of the notorious Charles Manson "family", Patricia Krenwinkel was arrested in 1969 and charged - along with Manson and other members of his clan - with a series of seven sadistic, ritualistic murders that took place in Los Angeles over a period of two days. Among the dead was Sharon Tate, actress and eight-months pregnant wife of film director Roman Polanski.

Krenwinkel was sentenced to death for her part in the murders, but a year later California abolished the death penalty and her sentence was commuted to life. After 25 years in prison, she appeared before a parole board that had the power to grant her freedom. Sue Ellicott reports on how the parole board decided whether a quarter of a century behind bars is sufficient punishment for this crime.
