Below is the illustration of Manson's arraignment with Susan Atkins drawn by Bill Robles, almost 44 years ago. The judge in this drawing, is Laurence Rittenband. He was the same judge who handled the Roman Polanski sexual offense case, that lead  Polanski to flee the US in 1978 and never return. That case is also in the upcoming book.
