Pretty much every person knows who Charles Manson is and what he is about. At least they know the version that the prosecutor in the case, DA Vincent Bugliosi, has force fed down the American Public's throat. He concocted the Helter Skelter garbage because he really didn't have a case against Manson. The girls and Tex Watson, yes, but not Manson. So, he fabricated evidence and got witnesses to play along with his story to get Manson in jail, write a book called Helter Skelter, and make a lot of money on this case.

But, what if someone else would have been the lead prosecutor? Would Manson still be convicted of murder, convicted of something lesser, or set free altogether? And, what would the implications have been?
