"It. is) also fashionable
these days not to mention
the fourth, which I think
algo is a legitimate ele-|
ment, and that is retribu-
tion—not, an eye for an
eye, but. punishment for
acts voluntarily and’ de-
liberately engaged in
which are contrary to our
law." .
Older said it is important
that any sentence or pun-
ishment dealt out by the
court represent the com-
munity’s emphatic denun-
ciation of the crime and
demonstrate the commu-
nity's revulsion for the
conduct engaged in.
"In this case it is my
considered judgment that
not. only is the death. pen-
alty appropriate, but. it is
almost compelled by the
circumstances."
One of prosecutor Vin-
cent. T. Bugliosi's points in:

No case deserves the death
penalty if the Tate-La Bi-

for the death penalty,

\ Victims Named
Starting with Manson,
Older read the case history
arid sentence for each of
courtroom: Abigail Folger,
Voityck Frykowski, Step-
hen. Parent, Sharon Tate,
Jay Sebring, Leno La Bi-

Older ordered Manson to
San Quentin and the three
women to the California
Institution for Women at
Frontera, near Corona.
If the State Supreme
Court upholds the guilt
and penalty verdicts on
automatic review, the trial
court -will then set a date
for execution.
"Sadie," "Katie," and
Leslie then would join
Manson at. San Quentin to
await death in the gas
chamber.
Prospects are that their

depend on a U.S. Supreme
Court decision in a case
testing procedures for im-
posing the death penalty.
