Los Angeles Superior Court jurors ruled Charles Tex Watson legally sane in the 1969 Tate murders case, clearing the way for a penalty trial to decide death or life in prison. The jury rejected diminished capacity claims and concluded Watson could distinguish right from wrong at the time of the crimes. The verdict followed Watson’s dual plea of innocent and insanity and precedes the sentencing phase set to begin today.
