   November 2026: Verdict revised from confirmed to partially true: the convictions confirm that Manson directed the Tate and LaBianca killings, and a 1976 appellate opinion described the race-war purpose as proved by circumstantial evidence, but the motive has been disputed, including by the director of a Netflix documentary series released in August 2026. Corrected the trial and sentencing dates and updated the parole status of Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Tex Watson.
