Leslie Van Houten will be released after serving 53 years in prison for two infamous murders after California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Friday that he won’t urge the state Supreme Court to reject her parole.

The governor’s office issued a brief statement in which it stated that it was doubtful that the state’s supreme court would take an appeal of a lower court’s decision to release Van Houten into consideration.

Leno LaBianca, the owner of a grocery shop, and his wife Rosemary were viciously stabbed in their home on the evening of August 10, 1969. Van Houten was convicted guilty of the crime.

Investigators discovered a horrifying, bloody crime scene where the victim’s blood was used to write “Death to Pigs” and “Helter Skelter”—a reference to the famous Beatles song “Helter Skelter”—on the walls and refrigerator.

Leno LaBianca was killed just four days after turning 44. He was born Pasqualino Antonio LaBianca on August 6, 1925. He entered the grocery store business as his father had done before him as the son of Italian immigrants in America. He married his high school sweetheart after serving in World War II, and they had three children together, but by 1955 the two had become estranged. After their divorce, Leno married Rosemary in 1959 or 1960 in Las Vegas.

Rosemary may have been born in Mexico in 1930. She spent her early years in an Arizona orphanage until she was 12 years old, and was then adopted by a California couple by the name of Harmon. Rosemary got married, had kids, and divorced in 1958, just like Leno.
