Supreme Court rejects Manson appeal for second time
The Supreme Court refused to hear Charles Manson's appeal alleging publicity made him a subhuman monster. He was convicted in 1971 for the 1969 Hinman and Shea murders and later known for the Tate-LaBianca slayings, with publicized trials. In Scottsdale, a 73-year-old Maryland woman died after drinking cleaning solution served as wine at Radisson Scottsdale Resort. Police say a bartender mislabeled cleaning fluid as wine, leading to Mary D'Alborn's death two weeks after ingestion.
