âThat [Helter Skelter] was the prosecutionâs theory because they wanted to get Manson into the act. They tried every trick in the book. Actually Hinmanâs ear was never cut off- never gone. It was more that his cheek was sliced that intersected the edge of his ear and you can see it in his autopsy report.

You see the Sheriffâs Homocide Department wanted to get Manson involved with my case, which was very difficult because Manson was not involved.â.
