Cult leader Charles Manson who is serving a life sentence in California for the 1969 slayings of the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six other people, is getting married. His bride-to-be is 26-year-old Afton Elaine Burton (aka Star), who has been for the past nine years trying to help exonerate Manson.
When Burton told Rolling Stone magazine in 2013 about their wedding plans, Manson said “That’s a bunch of garbage.” However, this week, California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton confirmed to the AP that “the marriage license had been transmitted to the prison.” The couple will be allowed to invite 10 guests who are not inmates.
