He has a huge Manson collection. He has ingratiated himself to Manson himself and a lot of Manson followers. On one of these cassettes Watkins admitted that he had sold Manson down the river and told Bugliosi what he wanted to hear. According to Watkins, Bugliosi told him that if he Watkins, didn't tell him, Bugliosi what he wanted to hear then he would end up in the 'green room' (the death chamber at San Quentin) with Manson. Watkins was so frightened he did just that. I know this tape exists because Bougas' best friend told me he had heard it. Bougas probably knows more about this case than anyone else because he knows so many primary people. beaudershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223387983663922713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-38026212024854319912013-09-10T20:22:44.265-04:002013-09-10T20:22:44.265-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-4686329264070841712013-09-10T19:49:44.914-04:002013-09-10T19:49:44.914-04:00what would be really interesting to know is what C...what would be really interesting to know is what Claire thinks of people like us - folk who are supposedly "obsessed" with the Manson story. Actually, it would be a trip and a half to know what Cappy or Mary of any of the players think of Manson bloggers.<br />I would hope that Claire or any of the other perceptive ones would be able to see many of us are not Manson junkies...I could give a rats asa about Charlie. He's bored me for years. I have long been more interested in the "group think" and other aspects of the story.<br />I did find it interesting that Claire felt so compelled to include such an admission of promiscuity during her Reno days. I couldn't figure out if she did so as to juxtaposition it with her father's promiscuity or what.<br />Maybe it was juat a whimsical "we are all just whores at heart" thing.leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-71067254847227069242013-09-10T19:43:49.780-04:002013-09-10T19:43:49.780-04:00You mean woof??You mean woof??St. Circumstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415891591944887206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-28800024134150247892013-09-10T19:36:35.092-04:002013-09-10T19:36:35.092-04:00WOOTWOOTPatty is Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717777500117142160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-42939155603448404792013-09-10T19:21:12.687-04:002013-09-10T19:21:12.687-04:00I agree this is really great stuff :)I agree this is really great stuff :)St. Circumstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415891591944887206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-10117724697001455242013-09-10T19:14:10.715-04:002013-09-10T19:14:10.715-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.St. Circumstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415891591944887206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-14155557448139413242013-09-10T19:07:35.060-04:002013-09-10T19:07:35.060-04:00Yep... really well-written.
