(July 15, 2008)--California parole officials denied compassionate release for a follower of Charles Manson who is dying of brain cancer.
Susan Atkins' doctors and officials at the women's prison in Corona made the request in March because of her deteriorating health.
The request was among items the parole board considered at its Tuesday meeting.
Atkins, two other women and Manson were tried for the 1969 cult killings of seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.
Atkins has been imprisoned for 37 years, longer than any other female in state history.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley wanted Atkins to stay in prison.
He said she stabbed Tate, tasted her blood and used it to write "Pig" on Tate's door.

Why should she be shown any mercy, she killed another in cold blood, she should rot in jail just like all the rest of the sickos in there.
