Gov. Brown Blocks Parole for Manson Follower
Reverses board decision
Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday reversed a parole board and denied release of a former Charles Manson follower who has served more than 40 years in prison.
The board had recently approved the release of 70-year-old Bruce Davis but left the final decision to the governor.
Brown gave his decision to The Associated Press at the downtown Los Angeles County courthouse after a meeting with District Attorney Jackie Lacey.
