Editing Charles "Tex" Watson (section)

=== Conviction and Imprisonment     ===
A few months after the murders, The Family's location was raided by the police, which resulted in Watson fleeing back to his native Texas. He was tracked down not long after and arrested for the Tate/LaBianca murders. For the next nine months he fought exradition back to California, but eventually was returned.

In 1971, when finally deemed able to stand trial, he was found guilty of his role in the murders and sentenced to death which was commuted to life in prison, with the possibility of parole, but has been denied parole 14 times. He was most recently given a five-year denial of parole at a board hearing on October 27, 2016, and remains incarcerated at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California
