At the time of a mass murder, there is a lot of media coverage but usually for a brief period of time, the identity of the perpetrator tends to fade from the public's consciousness but not so with the Manson case. Case. It was the biggest publicity case the DA's office had ever had. The Manson trial begins the 1970s on such an evil, sadistic note. Seven innocent people died, Steve Parent, a teenager, Abigail Folger, Folger coffee. Jay Sibering /. Wojak Frakowski. [ UNKNOWN ] and Sharon Tate. All of you know how beautiful she was. Only a few of you know how good she was. And you had Charles Manson himself. The charismatic leader of the family who didn't show any remorse, or any respect for the system. [ INAUDIBLE ] Are you all happy with your courts? Yep. Good. Are you happy with your trial? Am I I have to. It's your court. I wouldn't accept it. The problem was that he did not physically participate in these murders, but only Manson had a motive to commit these murders and that motive was Helter Skelter. Manson envisioned that white people would turn against the black man if they thought the black man had committed these seven murders. And ultimately there would be a civil war between blacks and whites, and Manson foresaw that the black man would win this war. But later on, he said the black man, because of inexperience, would simply not be able to handle the reins of power, so he would have to look around at those white people who survived, who had escaped from Helter Skelter. In other words, turn over the reigns of power to Charles Manson and his family. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Charles Manson: CNN's 'The Seventies' Exclusive Clip","description":"Charles Manson: CNN's 'The Seventies' Exclusive Clip","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mjV7Jn2H/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-06T18:53:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mjV7Jn2H.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/mjV7Jn2H/","duration":"PT1M52S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/mjV7Jn2H/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
