Charles Manson and the Tate-LaBianca Murders

On the night of August 8, 1969, Charles Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian were sent by Charlie to the old home of Terry Melcher at 10050 Cielo Drive. Their instructions were to kill everyone at the house and make it appear like Hinmans murder, with words and symbols written in blood on the walls. As Charlie Manson had said earlier in the day after choosing the group,  Now is the time for Helter Skelter. What the group did not know was that Terry Melcher was no longer residing in the home and that it was being rented by film director Roman Polanski and his wife, actress  Sharon Tate. Tate was two weeks away from giving birth and Polanski was delayed in London while working on his film, The Day of the Dolphin. Because Sharon was so close to giving birth, the couple arranged for friends to stay with her until Polanski could get home. After dining together at the El Coyote restaurant, Sharon Tate,  celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, Folger coffee heiress Abigail Folger and  her lover  Wojciech Frykowski, returned to the Polanskis home on Cleo Drive at around 10:30 p.m.  Wojciech fell asleep on the living room couch,  Abigail Folger went to her bedroom to read, and Sharon Tate and Sebring were in Sharons bedroom talking. Steve Parent Just after midnight, Watson, Atkins, Krenwinkel, and Kasabian arrived at the house. Watson climbed a telephone pole and cut the phone line going to the Polanskis house. Just as the group entered the estate grounds, they saw a car approaching. Inside the car was  18-year-old Steve Parent who had been  visiting the propertys caretaker, William Garreston. As Parent approached the driveways electronic gate, he rolled down the window to reach out and push the gates button, and Watson descended on him, yelling at him to halt. Seeing that Watson was armed with a revolver and knife, Parent began to plead for his life. Unfazed, Watson slashed at Parent, then shot him four times, killing him instantly. The Rampage Inside After murdering Parent, the group headed for the house. Watson told Kasabian to be on the lookout by the front gate.  The other three family members entered the Polanski home.  Charles Tex Watson went to the living room and confronted  Frykowski who was asleep. Not fully awake,  Frykowski asked what time it was and Watson kicked him in the head. When  Frykowski asked who he was, Watson answered,  Im the devil and Im here to do the devils business. Susan Atkins went to Sharon Tates bedroom with a buck knife and ordered Tate and Sebring to go into the living room. She then went and got Abigail Folger. The four victims were told to sit on the floor. Watson tied a rope around Sebrings neck, flung it over a ceiling beam, then tied the other side around Sharons neck. Watson then ordered them to lie on their stomachs. When Sebring voiced his concerns that Sharon was too pregnant to lay on her stomach, Watson shot him and then kicked him while he died. Knowing now that the intent of the intruders was murder, the three remaining victims began to struggle for survival.  Patricia Krenwinkel attacked Abigail Folger and after being stabbed multiple times, Folger broke free and attempted to run from the house.  Krenwinkel followed close behind and managed to tackle Folger out on the lawn and stabbed her repeatedly. Inside, Frykowski struggled with Susan Atkins when she attempted to tie his hands. Atkins stabbed him four times in the leg, then Watson came over and beat  Frykowski over the head with his revolver. Frykowski somehow managed to escape out onto the lawn and began screaming for help. While the microbe scene was going on inside the house, all Kasabian could hear was screaming. She ran to the house just as  Frykowski was escaping out the front door. According to Kasabian, she looked into the eyes of the mutilated man and horrified at what she saw, she told him that she was sorry. Minutes later,  Frykowski was dead on the front lawn.Watson shot him twice, then stabbed him to death. Seeing that Krenwinkel was struggling with Folger, Watson went over and the two continued to stab Abigail mercilessly. According to killers statements later given to the authorities,  Abigail begged them to stop stabbing her saying, I give up, youve got me, and Im already dead.   The final victim at 10050 Cielo Drive was Sharon Tate. Knowing that her friends were likely dead, Sharon begged for the life of her baby. Unmoved, Atkins held Sharon Tate down while Watson stabbed her multiple times, killing her. Atkins then used Sharons blood to write Pig on a wall. Atkins later said that Sharon Tate called out for her mother as she was being murdered and that she tasted her blood and found it warm and sticky. According to the autopsy reports, 102 stab wounds were found on the four victims. The Labianca Murders The next day Manson, Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Steve Grogan, Leslie Van Houten, and Linda Kasabian went to the home of Leno and Rosemary Labianca. Manson and Watson tied up the couple and Manson left. He told Van Houten and Krenwinkel to go in and kill the LaBiancas. The three separated the couple and murdered them, then had dinner and a shower and hitchhiked back to Spahn Ranch. Manson, Atkins, Grogan, and Kasabian drove around looking for other people to kill but failed. Manson and The Family Arrested At Spahn Ranch rumors of the groups involvement began to circulate. So did the police helicopters above the ranch, but because of an  unrelated investigation. Parts of stolen cars were spotted in and around the ranch by police in the helicopters. On August 16, 1969, Manson and The Family were rounded up by police and taken in on suspicion of auto theft (not an unfamiliar charge for Manson). The search warrant ended up being invalid because of a date error and the group was released. Charlie blamed the arrests on Spahns ranch hand Donald Shorty Shea for snitching on the family. It was no secret that Shorty wanted the family off the ranch. Manson decided it was time for the family to move to Barker Ranch near Death Valley, but before leaving, Manson, Bruce Davis, Tex Watson and Steve Grogan killed Shorty and buried his body behind the ranch. The Barker Ranch Raid The Family moved onto the Barker Ranch and spent time turning stolen cars into dune buggies. On October 10, 1969, Barker Ranch was raided after investigators spotted stolen cars on the property and traced evidence of an arson back to Manson. Manson was not around during the first Family roundup, but returned on October 12 and was arrested with seven other family members. When police arrived Manson hid under a small bathroom cabinet but was quickly discovered. The Confession of Susan Atkins One of the biggest breaks in the case came when Susan Atkins boasted in detail about the murders to her prison cellmates. She gave specific details about Manson and the killings. She also told of other famous people the Family planned on killing. Her cellmate reported the information to the authorities and Atkins was offered a life sentence in return for her testimony. She refused the offer but repeated the prison cell story to the grand jury. Later Atkins recanted her grand jury testimony. The Grand Jury Indictment It took 20 minutes for the grand jury to hand down murder indictments on Manson, Watson, Krenwinkel, Atkins, Kasabian, and Van Houten. Watson was fighting extradition from Texas and Kasabian became the prosecutions main witness. Manson, Atkins, Krenwinkel and Van Houten were tried together. The chief prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, offered Kasabian prosecutorial immunity for her testimony. Kasabian agreed, giving Bugliosi the final piece of the puzzle needed to convict Manson and the others. The challenge for Bugliosi was to get the jury to find Manson as responsible for the murders as those who actually committed the murders. Mansons courtroom antics helped Bugliosi accomplish this task. On the first day of court, he showed up with a bloody swastika carved into his forehead. He tried to stare down Bugliosi and with a series of hand gestures had the three women disrupt the courtroom, all in hopes of a mistrial. It was Kasabians account of the murders and of the control that Manson had over the Family that nailed Bugliosis case. She told the jury that no family member ever wanted to tell Charlie Manson no. On January 25, 1971, the jury returned a guilty verdict for all defendants and on all counts of first-degree murder. Manson, like the other three defendants, was sentenced to death in the gas chamber. Manson shouted, You people have no authority over me, as he was led off in handcuffs. Mansons Prison Years Manson was originally sent to San Quentin State Prison, but was transferred to Vacaville then to Folsom and then back to San Quentin because of his constant conflicts with prison officials and other inmates. In 1989 he was sent to Californias Corcoran State Prison where he currently resides. Because of various infractions in prison, Manson has spent a considerable amount of time under disciplinary custody (or as prisoners call it, the hole), where he was kept in isolation for 23 hours a day and kept handcuffed when moving within the general prison areas. When not in the hole he, is kept in the prisons Protective Housing Unit (PHU) because of threats made on his life. Since his incarceration, he has been raped, set on fire, beaten several times and poisoned. While in PHU he is allowed to visit with other inmates, have books, art supplies, and other restricted privileges. Over the years he has been charged with various crimes including conspiracy to distribute narcotics, destruction of state property, and assault of a prison guard. He has been denied parole 10 times, the last time in 2001 when he refused to attend the hearing because he was forced to wear handcuffs. His next parole is 2007. He will be 73 years old.

Global Market Of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Global Market Of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Answer: The smart phone industry is a rapidly growing industry in the global market. The Samsung is one of the leading global manufacturers operating in information technology and mobile communications, consumer electronics and device solutions. The case study shows the detailed information regarding the incidents of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which was rated as four and half star as compared to Apple iPhone 7 Plus. The company further stand second after Apple in the leading mobile industry. The product launched was marked as the failure of the reputation of the brand Samsung. The Galaxy Note 7 when launched made huge revenue for Samsung as a result it increased the sales and production of the company. The reports of overheating and catching fire on the mobile started to be informed soon after which the first recall was placed by Samsung in order to sustain their goodwill and reputation which cost the company about 2.5 million. Anyway, this failed and again the same problem came to arise and fina lly the product was ceased in terms of sales and production both. Symptoms The symptoms started as overheating of the batteries and the combustion of the mobile phones. In some cases the mobile phones exploded suddenly. The user after complaining about the product to Samsung stopped using the products. The quality commission put stop on using Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and also stated that the customers using the product should stop using it. The smart phone industry is rapidly increasing the markets such as North America, Western Europe, Japan and Asia in 2.5 years. The android OS had immensely positive impact over the global smart phone market. The feature of android includes low cost services and user friendly software has attracted a huge amount of customers to operate and consume worldwide. For many of the manufacturers Android have driven and opened a platform for competitive market. The Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers on a global basis in terms of volume (Samsung ca, 2018). It operates in more than 50 lawsuits. The Samsung brand is considered as valuable in the world. Samsung was a manufacturer of mobile phones and its high level of vertical integration was its strength. The innovativeness of adapting methodologies and adaptability of technological trends were its internal strength. Later it was reported, that an incident took place in an airplane where the smoke filled inside the flight which was caused due to the combustion of Samsung mobile phone. After this incident, the flights between Canada and United States ban the phone usage (Hartley, 2017). Major problem The major problem was related with the battery of the Samsung Galaxy 7 Note. The battery was getting overheated causing to explosion of the mobile. After the launch of the product, the arrival of reports regarding the complaints related to overheating and catching of fire due to the mobile started coming. It affected the brand image and as a result there were many losses caused to the consumers who purchased and to the company as well. This incidents one after another happening with the users kept on reporting even after the first recall. In the first recall Samsung admitted their mistake and stated that there was a defect in their mobile phone batteries and announced that all the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 were getting replaced after the fixation of the battery. However, the same problem persist which again made the company to recall and this time. The major problem that pursued with Samsung was they did not pay attention in the internal problem instead they again launched Note 7 with th e same issue. Later the company had to take decisions to cease the sales and production of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (Smith, 2017). In place the company should have tested and investigated the case and all the incidents taking place and reason in brief in the initial stage to prevent the second recall. However, the first recall was going according to the plan and again the analyst had figured out the sales unit as 15 million units but it failed due to the lack of investigation. Causes Instead of thoroughly investigating about what went wrong the company admit the mistake and soon released another version of the Note 7 with the same defect. Instead it should have tested its mobile phones again with a small group of sample people before launching after the initial recall. The company expected losses and that also immediate from the mobile business. It was a result of the insulated elements led down by the short circuit and self heating. After investigation it was reported that the battery manufacturing issues stand out to be the reason for the galaxy Note 7 fire. There was a defection in the negative electrode in the production of batteries of the first batch and in the second batch of production melted coppers were found (Heaps Poindexter, 2017). Samsungs recall strategy was planned to sustain the goodwill and loyalty among the customers and the media but unfortunately it turned to stand less satisfactory with the upcoming reports of overheating and combustion. The batteries were getting overheated and causing to explode. This resulted in the damage to both consumers and company. The safety of the consumers were hurt which ruined the reputation of the company. The Samsung Product Galaxy Note 7 is created with a 5.7 inch display with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and 12 mega pixel cameras with 5 mega pixel front camera. The battery is of 3500 mAh with RAM 64GB. It is a wireless charging device and can give competitive challenge to Apple iPhone 7 Plus. The product was facing a problem with its quality of its battery which was defected. However, the company had tried and assured its consumers, retailers, distributors and its stakeholders by taking apology and gratitude and stating that it will give its all efforts to regain the customers trust.
