Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles County deputy district attorney who gained worldwide fame for his successful prosecutions of Charles Manson and his followers for the brutal 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others, has died. He was 80.
Bugliosi, who went on to become a best-selling true crime writer, co-authoring the compelling account “Helter Skelter” about the Manson murders and the sensational trial that followed, died Saturday in a Los Angeles hospital.
He had had health issues in recent years and the cancer that he had overcome three years ago had recently returned and metastasized, according to his wife, Gail.
long with the crime and courthouse tales that were his biggest sellers, Bugliosi turned his literary attention to other topics. He excoriated George W. Bush in a 2008 book for the U.S. military deaths in Iraq, arguing that the former president
should be tried for murder. In another, published in 2011, the former prosecutor, a longtime agnostic, coolly evaluated the evidence for the existence of God.
Bugliosi was always aware, however, of his primary legacy.
