Overview
- Krenwinkel’s May 30 parole recommendation marks the second endorsement after Governor Newsom overturned her first approval in 2022
- The panel highlighted her age of 77 and more than 50 years of good behavior as evidence she poses low risk of reoffending
- She has served over 55 years for her role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca killings, convicted on seven counts of first-degree murder
- Victims’ families, including Sharon Tate’s sister Debra Tate and Jay Sebring’s nephew Anthony DiMaria, have urged against her release
- If the full Board of Parole Hearings upholds the decision, Newsom will have up to 150 days to affirm or reverse it
