Synopsis
In 1969 Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi was handed the most difficult case of his career. A multiple murder with eight victims, ten defendants five of whom were young women between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one, and no motive. As he later explained, it is not the prosecutor's duty to provide a motive but with a case this unbelievable it became necessary. From the bones of disjointed stories told by followers of Charles Manson, Bugliosi put together the story of Helter Skelter - the idea that the crimes were aimed at starting a race war which would lead to Armageddon. But does that theory hold up? Half way through the trial the prosecutor discovered that Charles Manson had shot and presumably killed a Black Panther prior to the crimes. The idea that these crimes had been committed merely to cover up this supposed killing became a real possibility. But Bugliosi was half way through a trial where he was straining his credibility to the limit - there was no way he could change course at that point and hope to win the case. And so he continued with the theory of Helter Skelter. To his credit Mr. Bugliosi won convictions, but an unfortunate side effect has been the transformation of Charles Manson into a mind-controlling guru and a mystic person of interest. Susan Atkins undertook this dialog with the hope of undermining both the myth of Helter Skelter and the undeserved attention this case has been given over the years. It was her intent to demystify these crimes and to show them for what they were - a terrible series of mistakes that led to the tragic and irreparable loss of eight human lives.
