Vasquez, who was not alive when the “Manson family” terrorized Southern California in the late 1960s with its “Helter Skelter” killing spree, said he wanted to produce the album because he believes Manson’s Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial was violated.
“I wouldn’t say [he’s] innocent, but he was denied his constitutional rights in court,” Vasquez said. “I wanted to raise awareness of that.”
