I've read Waters' articles and though I applaud his sense of compassion for his friend Van Houten, I can't agree with him about how she should be set free. The LaBianca murders were gruesome. I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who was holding down Mrs. LaBianca as she was stabbed and then stabbed her 16 times herself.
