I studied him pretty extensively in my Criminal Psychology class. I have a feeling that had the system not failed him as badly as it did and labeled him as a mentally retarded, delinquent son of a single-mother at such a young, impressionable age, there could have been hope, or at the very least, he would have stuck to petty crimes.
A lot of people that are unfamiliar with Criminal Psychology just don't understand that most people are NORMAL and most NORMAL people couldn't kill another human being without even the slightest bit of guilt at the very least. People who kill others in our society are mentally disturbed in some way shape or form. Period. This man is mentally disturbed. He probably doesn't even feel that what he did was wrong and honestly, he'll be dead soon anyway. He's still useful as a case study, so long as he is locked up he will continue to be just a well-paid case-study for students like me.
Is it normal that I think Charles Manson should die?

"This man is mentally disturbed. He probably doesn't even feel that what he did was wrong..."
Precisely.
