By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 20:59 EST, 12 March 2014 | UPDATED: 21:08 EST, 12 March 2014 A California board has again approved parole for former Charles Manson follower and convicted double murderer Bruce Davis. The department of corrections first granted the 71-year-old parole in 2012, but Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the decision after a public outcry and opposition from the families of Manson victims. Brown now has 30 days to decide whether he'll oppose the decision again. Paid the price? Charles Manson follower Bruce Davis (left as he appears now and right after the 1969 double murder) was convicted of double homicide and has been in prison in California since. He was deemed suitable for parole once again
