Brainwashed by Charles Manson, Transformed by Time: Patricia Krenwinkel’s 56-Year Journey
Dr. Steven Hassan speaks with attorney Keith Wattley about how Charles Manson’s mind control destroyed Patricia Krenwinkel’s life. Will Gavin Newsom grant her parole after 56 years behind bars?
In this discussion from October 6, 2025, I spoke with Keith Wattley, Esq. of UnCommon Law. He is representing former Manson Family member Patricia Krewinkel in her fight for parole. Please join us for this important and timely discussion about mind control, accountability, and redemption for cult members in the criminal justice system.
To advocate for Patricia Krenwinkel’s parole, contact California Governor Gavin Newsom. Please message letters of support for Pat using her full name and her inmate number- W08314
Check out UnCommon Law for more info.
UPDATE:
We are very disappointed to hear that Krenwinkel has been denied parole, obviously ignoring California’s Parole Board who determined in 2022 and again in 2025 that she represents no danger to anyone- except political careers perhaps.
