SynopsisEntertainment Tonight Canada said "Day, Got the scoop of a Lifetime". From Time Magazine - "One of the people who offered Day a version of the story was, of course, Manson, who maintained his innocence until his death. "I didn't have nothing to do with killing those people," he told Day in a phone call. "They knew I didnt have anything to do with it." So the story Manson told Day about the summer of 1969 is one in which, unlike in the "Helter Skelter" story, his role in the murders is relatively small." The Untold Story of the Manson Family Murders from Manson's Final Interviews "I didn't have anything to do with killing those people. They knew I didn't have anything to do with it. They didn't want to hear it..." For 50 years the legendary Manson Family murders have fascinated and mortified that such brutal acts of cold-blooded murder could have taken place and with women playing a key role in those murders. Manson was an enigmatic drifter who drew a group of people into his web of deceit and evil that eventually led to the brutal Tate, and then LaBianca murders. The prosecution would go on to spin what was considered the de-facto theory behind the murder spree and the world bought into the "Helter Skelter" racial war conspiracy. Now for the first time, documentary film producer and author James Buddy Day takes readers through a more rational and believable set of reasons for the murders. James Buddy Day was the last person and author to have interviewed Charles Manson. The reader will be intrigued on Manson's perspective on how the prosecution convicted him for murder when he was forty miles away when both the acts were committed. The book will appeal to readers searching for facts and truths about the most iconic mass murder in the 20th century. You will get to know Manson through the pages of this book. Descriptions and interviews are very graphic, and the material may not be suitable for all readers. Manson will fascinate true-crimers forever. He was all at once an enigma, carnival barker and clown, but most importantly a bonafide sociopath, whose terrorized victims' stories should never be forgotten. Just when you think you've seen and heard all there is about Charlie Boy, here comes HIPPIE CULT LEADER an interesting, at times disturbing, addition to the Manson library. Written with passion and detail, James Buddy Day spins a well-told, new take on an old con man. - New York Times bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps, When Stephen Kay walked into court, he noticed a man sitting behind the prosecutors' table scribbling notes. Stephen didn't recognize him as an LA reporter and was later shocked to learn the man was Curt Gentry, an author Vince had hired to write a book about the case before it was even tried. "He didn't tell me that he was writing a book during the trial," Stephen recalled. "He didn't tell anybody about it. He knew this was gonna make him rich and famous." Assistant DA Stephen Kay on his surprise that DA Vincent Bugliosi had hired a writer before he had even tried the case! That is a huge conflict of interest in anybody's book. Book jacket.
