7)  The Manson 'Family' Murders
Charles Manson was the ultimate hippie leader with a difference. Together with his cult followers he pioneered a new revolution - a helter-skelter of bloody, calculated and remorseless killing that brought a new, sinister meaning to the term - 'The Family'.
August 1969. Charles Manson decrees to his followers that it is time for "Helter Skelter." Thus begins a brutal string of crimes that shock Hollywood and the nation. At first, the horrible acts are thought to be unrelated. But with a few breaks, the police begin to piece together the incredible story of twisted loyalty, hard drugs and murder. In a series of trials that hold more than a few surprises, Manson and his followers make the most of the limelight. Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi tells his own psychological tug-of-war with Manson and and the novel legal strategy that brought the entire "family" to justice.
