Bruce Davis, a key figure in Charles Manson's circle, has died in prison at the age of 83. He was convicted of two killings, although not the most notorious murders associated with Manson. Davis was found suitable for parole on eight occasions, but his release was consistently blocked by governors.

The blocks on his parole were made by California governors, despite his suitability being confirmed multiple times. Davis's role in the Manson group was significant, with him being referred to as Manson's 'right-hand man'.
