923 Words4 Pages

Mantel 1 Maggie Mantel Mr. Mayor Psychology 16 March 2023 Charles ‘Tex’ Watson Charles ‘Tex’ Watson should not be let on parole in the year 2026. He has been denied parole 18 separate times, the latest time being in October of 2021. Tex Watson is known for having been a part of the Manson Family murders. According to an excerpt from Watson’s parole hearing in 1984, Tex even labeled himself as the leader of the Tate-LaBianca murders (Michael 1:22-1:53). He gave orders to the other members of the family and installed fear in the victims before brutally killing them. To explain why Tex Watson shouldn’t be allowed on parole you must understand what happened on those two nights. August 9th, 1969, the first night of the Manson Family murders, Charles …show more content…

Watson’s parole hearing in 1984 revealed that he had taken “two psychological tests during the past year. One computer scored and interpreted the other locally scored and interpreted and the test agreed decisively that he has a very high degree of suppressed hostility. Another member of the council described his psychological testing profile as that of equal to a walking time bomb.”(_). This quote demonstrates how if Watson were to be let out on parole there might only be so much time before he commits another violent crime.

This hearing was 15 years after the murders and Charles ‘Tex’ Watson has not changed since, another 15 years won’t make any more of a difference. In that same parole hearing Mr. Watson blames his use of drugs for following Manson’s instructions. However, his saying this only hurts his case because according to the National Library of Medicine, the likelihood of a prisoner using again after being released is extremely high.

Holmes: America’s First Serial Killer follows the life of the brilliantly sadistic criminal mastermind, Herman Webster Mudgett, notoriously known under his alias, Henry Howard Holmes. Through his manipulative tactics, expertise in chemistry and anatomy, and meticulously devised creations, America would encounter one of its most monstrous and depraved beings to ever taint the nation with horror. Like many serial killers, H. H. Holmes had a traumatic childhood of receiving abuse from his parents and peers. With both of his parents being devout Methodists, a Protestant Christianity denomination, he had a profound religious upbringing, which appears paradoxical to his fascination with death as an adult.

    In “The Brain on Trial”, David Eagleman claims that the justice system needs to change its sentencing policies due to the discoveries of neurobiological diseases that cause their sufferers to behave in socially unacceptable ways and/or commit crimes. Eagleman uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to present his viewpoint. The most important one is his appeal to logic. By using mostly examples, along with direct address to the readers, Eagleman is able to argue that the legal system has to modify its sentencing policies to take into account the advances made in neuroscience due to the increase in the amount of accused and/or convicted people who have been found to have harbored some kind of brain disease or damage.
