LOS ANGELES- According to reports in California a parole board is willing to consider Charles Manson follower, Bruce Davis, the option of being released.
Davis has been charged with a double murder he allegedly committed while in Manson's cult. The news of his possible parole broke on Thursday.
The process of his possible release from prison will have to start with an approximately four month review period by members of a parole board. If approved Davis' freedom will then be placed in the hands of now California Gov. Jerry Brown.
Davis' attorney Michael Beckerman said. "I'm pleased and relieved and I hope Bruce's ordeal will be over,"
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denied Davis' parole last time believing he was he was still a danger, sentiments shared by former Manson follower Barbara Hoyt. Davis himself does not agree with what either thinks and sees himself as a changed man even becoming a born again Christian and wants to atone for his past.
"I want to try to make up for some of the pain and destruction I've caused," Davis said, according to the Tribune.
"While your behavior was atrocious, your crimes did occur 43 years ago," parole board member Jeff Ferguson told Davis at is last hearing, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
Davis still pleads his innocents to this day saying he was a bystander in the Charles Manson's murders Davis originally was sentenced to life in prison in 1972.
Debra Tate, sister of Sharon Tate a victim of Charles Manson said she was disappointed that the board would consider releasing the prisoner calling him a "serial killer."
