In a September 2, 2009 live interview on CNN's ''Larry King Live'', Kasabian recounted her memories of the murders at Sharon Tate's home. To help her maintain her now-quiet life, Kasabian wore a disguise provided by the program. She told Larry King during the interview that after the trial she had been in need of, but had never obtained, "psychological counseling", and that during the previous 12 years, she had been "on a path of healing and rehabilitation." When asked about the degree of remorse she felt for her participation in the crimes, Kasabian said she felt as though she took on all the guilt that "no one else [who was involved in the crimes] felt guilt for". | In a September 2, 2009 live interview on CNN's ''Larry King Live'', Kasabian recounted her memories of the murders at Sharon Tate's home.
