Debra still has a daughter who can take over if anything happened

Ms. Debra Tate has sworn that until she - or the remaining Manson members incarcerated - passes away, she will attend every parole hearing to make sure they never get out of jail.

she really was, and she definitely endured a lot of pain after Sharon's death and for the rest of her life. But she also had a way of coping with the pain and she did that by participating in these organizations and teaching others right from wrong and I really respected her a lot for doing that and being so dedicated, and I think it was a great loss when she passed!

@@mds2465: When she was at Tex Watson's parole hearing she asked him "What mercy sir did you show my daughter when she was begging for her life? Will these seven victims, and possibly more, going to walk out of their graves? When will I come up for parole? Can you tell me that?" We need more people like her to speak out for the victims of these terrible crimes. As well as to keep these criminals behind bars once and for all.

She was an AMAZING woman! She showed such courage and strength after the loss of her daughter and grandson. I will say this: I am proud to say that I share a birthday with this magnificent woman God bless and protect her and her family. RIP 😪🙏❤✝️

Arthur5260 Probably worst for #2

@@Michelle-rv9ks well, she agreed to do it, maybe to bring attention to Parents of Murdered Children. (a great cause, well worth contributing to)

I noticed that too!

Doris went along with it.

It's America. Everything is turned to a business.

@@gingerbaker4390 It’s really the Entertainment Industry behind this. We know that extends beyond the US.

@@karens2113 No this is the uniquely American culture im afraid.

@@gingerbaker4390 I disagree, exploitation occurs in other countries as well. Drug trafficking and child trafficking are businesses too- albeit not legal. The Entertainment Industry is worldwide and dirty. There is dirt everywhere the world over.

Mine too, she has my utmost respect.

Wish I had a mom like that

Me too !!!

That was very touching, and it made me cry.😢

Absolutely. You could see that made her happy when he said that.

Dappy Lu I bet they all knew. It’s a terrible act and a way to capitalize off the victim’s deaths. I believe Doris got swindled. Nothing surprises me in Hollywood.

Karen S Doris was no dummy. She was probably willing so long as she could publicly advocate for her cause.

@@EastSide-qc5oy I agree 100%

Yes! I watched that yesterday.

I just watched that one before watching this one.

I was disgusted by it too.

Agreed.

Hold on here , Doris made it her goal in life to get out the word to protect victims rights . The public is in danger because we spend all our time giving the killers attention when little time is spent thinking of the victims . The families have to attend parole hearings every 2-5 yrs to keep prisoners in prison . Sharon was served a life sentence and the killers shouldn’t be paroled - not first degree murder. Doris is even willing to go on a national game show to bring awareness to public of her daughter’s killers deeds so that they stay behind bars . To say oh ,Pooh this is in bad tastes may make you feel superior but you should be ashamed of yourselves for being critical of a mother who lost their daughter this way - her intention is to bring awareness to public of the killers deeds so that the fuss doesn’t die down so that the parole boards lets them out .before you get on your high horse stop and consider why she went on TV- she loved her daughter and was willing to anything to honor her life .

@@lenwelch2195 what a waste of energy it was to read your comment. I was/am referring to the producers. or producer whose idea it was to extend an offer to her. She should have been on Firing Line or shows of that caliber. and yes she did attend parole hearings etc and was devoted to that. nevertheless, I would be surprised to learn that it was her idea in the first place. [I've been surprised before]

@@jv-ep2tcthe main point was that a discussion was made and attention to this subject occurred 34 years after this show was taped , now so the point is made that being a part of this show had legs , furthered the discussion which was the point of her appearing on the show- to publicize victims rights and the damaging effects that murder has on the families of the victims.

It was somewhat awkward.

Iii aii agree

The show has a long history, and they did it to give more exposure and publicity to Doris' Victim's Rights cause.

None of them have been paroled.. L.V has been up for parole but never got passed that. The Governor always refuses it thank God

Krenwinkel was apprehended in Mobile al. after the murders. My sister had a roommate that was friends with Krenwinkel, and she actually spent the night at my sister's apartment two days before she was caught in Mobile. Scary thought!

​@@jaya.0069 Hi there! I saw your comment and I wondered if you knew that John Thomas Kummer a/k/a Jay Sebring, was born in Fairfield, Alabama ( a suburb of Birmingham)? It is just a weird tie in, (IMO) for lack of better words, that Krenwinkle, while not born there, had flee'd CaLifornia, and took off back to ' Bama and took refuge at her aunt's house where prior to the murders she had went to high school for a bit. She was ARRESTED, and eventually extradited from a state where her victim, Sebring, was born. It took almost 3 months to get her back to CA, due to red tape about the Lt. Governor signing the papers, and not Ronald Reagan. Also, Sharon Tate was born in Dallas, Texas, and then you have Tex Watson, who brutally murdered her, was also from Dallas, Texas. (Jay's family later moved to Detroit, MI, and he was raised there and went to school) It's just things can be weirdly connected sometimes. Just fyi'n on a Sunday morning.🧐🙃

@@jaya.0069 No way!! Did your sister and/or her roommate say anything later on about Krenwinkel's behavior during her stay there? Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

I thought that at least one of the panel would recuse themselves and am shocked that none of them knew what Doris Tate looked like.

People in Hollyweird live in a bubble!

I'm sure some knew, but they were paid to act as if they didn't for the show

I was thinking that, this was in horrible taste, just get on with the show🤷‍♀️

She surely didn’t shy away from much of anything.

Yeah; I’ve never seen anything this dark on To Tell The Truth.

​@@paulvoorhies8821You know nothing of Paul or Doris. They were not what they were portrayed to be by a long shot. It's not surprising.

It's not just you, and I don't understand the purpose of this show to have 3 so called Doris Tate's on there and only one of them lost her child and unborn grandchild to a bunch of cold blooded murderers? Help me understand. This is very strange to me and a little upsetting.

CrowsAndRavens thank you! I totally agree!!

Where did you see Pat Sajak? The host here was Alex Trebek.

Rob D: Pat Sajak is still living. Alex Trebek died last November (2020) of pancreatic cancer.

Duh!

I know! I thought the same thing!

Is that you Kim?

Yes, what a terrible thing to say...😔

Kim - I'm only speculating but maybe she did this show to to bring awareness to the public about parole hearings for those savage killers. She fought hard to keep them in prison, which included alot of help & support from the public. Just saying.

Kim Harrison ???? Why a slap in the face??
