Gerald Ford assassination attempt in Sacramento: On September 5, 1975, Charles Manson Family cult member Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme attempted to kill United States President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California.  She wanted to make a statement to people who refused to halt environmental pollution and its effects on Air, Trees, Water, and Animals (ATWA).  Although Fromme stood a little more than an arm's length from Ford that Friday morning and pointed a M1911 pistol at him in the public grounds of the California State Capitol building, her gun failed to fire and no one was injured.  After the assassination attempt, Ford continued to walk to the California state house, where he met with California governor Jerry Brown.  For her crime, Fromme spent 34 years in prison and was released on August 14, 2009 – two years and seven months after Ford's death.  The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, later received the M1911 pistol used in the assassination attempt as a gift, and the gun was put on display.

Manson and his followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in California, over a period of five weeks in the summer of 1969.  Known within the Manson family as Sadie Mae Glutz or Sexy Sadie, Atkins was convicted for her participation in eight of these killings, including the most notorious, the "Tate/LaBianca" murders.  She was sentenced to death, which was subsequently commuted to life in prison.  Atkins was incarcerated from October 1, 1969, until her death – a period exactly one week short of 40 years.

Charles Manson: Charles Milles Manson (born Charles Milles Maddox, November 12, 1934) is an American convicted mass murderer and former cult leader who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in California in the late 1960s.  Manson's followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969.  In 1971 he was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of seven people – most notably of the actress Sharon Tate – all of which were carried out by members of the group at his instruction.  Manson also received first-degree murder convictions for two other deaths.  Manson was originally sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment when California invalidated the state's death penalty statute in 1972.  He is currently serving multiple life sentences at California State Prison in Corcoran.

Leslie Van Houten: Leslie Louise Van Houten (born August 23, 1949) is an American murderer serving a life sentence in relation to the 1969 killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, when Van Houten was 19 years old.  She was arrested weeks later, and convicted at the main Charles Manson trial in 1971, at which she repeatedly sabotaged her own defense, and tried to exculpate Manson.  She was convicted and became the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in California.  However, executions were halted in the state in 1972 after the California Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional in "The People of the State of California v. Robert Page Anderson", 493 P.2d 880, 6 Cal.  3d 628 (Cal.  1972).  She was granted a new trial at which her defense to the charge of first degree murder was diminished responsibility, but the jury could not agree on a verdict.  At a third trial, she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, although with a possibility of parole.  In relation to her case, high courts, parole boards, and the state governor have said that an inexplicable or racial motive for murder could merit exemplary punishment and outweigh any evidence of subsequent reform.

Luis Monge: Luis José Monge (August 21, 1918 – June 2, 1967) was a convicted mass murderer who was executed in the gas chamber at Colorado State Penitentiary in 1967.  Monge was the last inmate to be executed before an unofficial moratorium on executions began in the United States in 1972.

This began a long battle for parole, which continued until his release from prison in 2002.
