His name implies I that ne couia oe uie son ui wu. "Charles Will Is, (from Willis), Man's Son, (from Manson)." Members of the family who testified for the prosecution said they thought he was Christ. Bugliosi said, "I think Manson was preaching to raw material. Manson moved in the 'offbeat' world of the hippie; this was the period of drug using, the sexual revolution, campus riots, and antiVietnam violence. He never found the right people to preach to." Manson's followers were mostly women. Only one male joined the family, and he was the main killer, Charles "Tex" Watson. Manson instructed Watson to be chief commander of the family. Watson fnlH th#? oirls what to do and who to kill during the killing sprees, whenever Manson was absent, Bugliosi said. According to Bugliosi, women played three roles in the "family." Women were to have babies, to serve men, and to encourage other people to join the family. m * A UTCt?n nAMfnSn lVl/ir*OVrni U o L'j if HI loin techniques to get his "Family" to commit mass murder for him.
