We hear the bizarre story a murder trial for the ages, as the Manson family and their leader put on an exhibition of farce and nonsense in the courtroom.

It brings in a raft of new, bizarre and fascinating characters, with Charles Manson, directing his band of devotees, going head to head against Vincent Bugliosi, a lawyer with no fear of the dramatic and a few tricks up his sleeve.

Along with trying to unpack the twisted tale of the Manson Family, the trial included the unsolved death of a lawyer who angered the Manson Family, some bizarre courtroom rituals, death threats to judges, wrestling lawyers (in the court), and months of chaos that gripped the world’s attention as key witnesses painted a picture of Helter Skelter, while Manson’s most devoted followers offered to give it all up for their leader.
