The Closing Argument...

"Did you ask her how Sharon Tate was dressed?"
"Yes, I did. She said she had a bikini bra and pants on."
"Did she identify the person who was seated at the bed with Sharon?"
"Yes, she did."
"What name did she give?"
"Jay Sebring."
"Did she say whether or not Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring eventually entered the living room of the Tate residence?"
"Yes, she did."
"After Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring entered the living room, what did Susan Atkins say took place?"
"She said that the other man-"
"Now, when you say 'other man,' did she indicate that this was a man other than Jay Sebring?"
"Yes, sir, she did."
"What did she say about this other man?"
"She said that the other man ran past her, and as he ran past her she stabbed him four or five times. He got to the door and he started screaming for help. He got out onto the front lawn and he was screaming, 'Help, help, somebody please help!' And with this she put her hand on her hip and she said to me, 'And would you believe that he was screaming "Help, help," and nobody came?' "
"This is what Susan Atkins told you?"
"That's right."
"What else did Sadie say she did?" "She said she was holding Sharon Tate's arms behind her, and that Sharon Tate looked at her and she said she was crying and said to her, 'Please, please don't kill me, I don't want to die. 1just want to have my baby.' She said, 'And I looked Sharon straight in the eye and I said to her, "Look, bitch, you might as well face it right now, you're going to die, and I don't feel a thing behind it," and in a few minutes she was dead.' "
"Did Susan Atkins say whether she in fact killed Sharon Tate?"
"Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She said, 'I killed her.' "
"Did Miss Atkins say anything about blood at that point?" "Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She said that she had blood in her hand and she looked at her hand and she took her hand and she put it up to her mouth and she said, 'To taste death and yet give life, wow, what a trick.' "

Not just a robot, but a bloodthirsty robot. Bloodthirsty robots. Can you believe that? Susan Atkins is tasting Sharon Tate's blood. Unbelievable.

"Did Miss Atkins ask you if you had ever had that type of experience with blood?"
"Yes, she did. She asked me in was interested in blood, and I said that I had seen it, and she said that it was really beautiful; that it was warm and sticky." "Did she say anything about the eyes of the people there at the Tate residence?"
"Yes, she did. She told me that she wanted to take their eyes out and squash them against the wall, and cut their fingers off, but that she didn't have time."

Susan, of course, is just a cloistered nun type, ladies and gentlemen. She is as innocent, of course, as a newborn baby, a little darling.
