By Associated Press and Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 18:57 EST, 1 March 2013 | UPDATED: 18:58 EST, 1 March 2013 Decision: Bruce Davis, a former Charles Manson follower who has spent more than 40 years in prison One of cult leader Charles Manson’s follower was denied parole and will continue to serve his jail sentence after the California governor stepped in and stopped him from being released. The state’s parole board had recently approved the release of 70-year-old Bruce Davis, who was convicted in two Manson-related murders, since he has served more than four decades in prison. Governor Jerry Brown reversed that decision and ordered Davis to remain in jail after having a meeting with the Los Angeles district attorney.
