Originally posted by SuzianneShe actually pointed it at him and pulled the trigger, but she forgot to chamber a round. She had a reputation of being ditzy like that. Anyone viewing the numerous videos available of her can see she's really scatterbrained. Took way too much acid.

Originally posted by Sam The ShamBefore she left her home that morning she took the round out of the chamber. Police found it lying on her bathroom floor. When the gun was taken from her it only had four rounds in the mag.

I don't doubt the ditzy bit, or the acid. All the Manson kids took way too much acid.
