Charles Manson, awaiting murder trial for the Sharon Tate killings, won permission to defend himself. He receives free telephone access, a jail runner for law books, a library-adjacent cell, a typewriter, court transcripts, and free use of two outside phones with long distance billed to the county. He may use a personal investigator or psychiatrist only if the court orders it, and contact with potential witnesses is unlikely without a court directive.
