Manson said in his interview with TODAY that he felt ashamed that he did not do more for society. He felt that if he had killed many more people, he would have bettered society. Manson, in saying this, can be tabled as a deviant because he went against the norms of society. He planned the murders of people with no regard to anyone else. That in itself is deviant because it is the norm that most people of society feel remorse, guilt, and have regard for other's feelings.

Even in modern day, everyone knows the name Charles Manson. The gruesome stories of murder captivated people all over the world. He is perhaps one of the most well known criminals. "Manson's genius? He reframed hippie subculture - LSD, music, free love, communal lifestyles - as a tool for apocalyptic mass murder." Manson himself inspired countless books and songs to be written about his insanity. Guns n' Roses and even David Bowie reference Manson in their music. People even idolize Manson in today's society as he has followers. He has received more fan mail than any inmate in California history.  Manson also had a relationship with one of his followers while he was in prison. In 2014 Manson was engaged to 26-year-old Elaine Burton and later obtained a marriage license. "I'm completely with him, and he's completely with me. It's what I was born for, you know. I don't know what else to say."

Manson wanted control in his family. He had delusional fantasies about killing celebrities and then blaming the murders on African Americans. He believed in a war against the races and that white people would take over and eradicate those of other ethnicities. He hoped that if high profile and well known people were murdered and it was thought that those of other races committed them, then it would spur the beginnings of violence against them.

July of 1970, Charles Manson walked into the courtroom with an X carved into his forehead - an X that would later become a swastika. He and the other members were on trial for the Tate-LaBianca Murders. Followers, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten, and Patricia Krenwinkel were tried as well. The three girls supposedly skipped and sang their way into the courtroom. It took ten days of deliberation and nine and a half months of trial to charge the girls and Manson himself. They were all sentenced to the gas chamber. However, none of them were actually executed as California had suspended the death penalty. As a result, the members and Manson got life in prison as the final verdict of the case. Manson was serving nine life sentences at Corcoran State Prison in California.
