Description
KPIX-TV news footage from September 21, 1975 with reporter Marilyn Baker featuring heavily edited scenes from an interview with member of the Manson family Sandra Good. She is also a close friend of Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, who tried to assassinate President Gerold Ford in Sacramento on September 5. Good states that: "I look around at the world and I see that it's being destroyed. I see that the media is being used to project madness into the minds of people." When Baker interupts her to ask: "But isn't it madness to go out and kill people and butcher them?" Good simply reflects: "There is a lot of madness." Good continues to deflect questions about murders committed by the Manson Family, emphasizing only that: "I'm proud of my family. I love em!" Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.

Note that Good was found guilty of sending death threats to corporate executives on March 16, 1976 and was imprisoned for this until December 1985.
