<P> Several members of the "family" were arrested following a raid on the Spahn Ranch in October for car theft . The police at the time had no idea that they were also rounding up the murderers in the Tate and LaBianca cases . The investigations of these were already in progress, along with the intensive news media coverage of the murders . After being informed that a warrant for her arrest had been issued, Kasabian turned herself in to New Hampshire authorities in early December . Kasabian was offered immunity from prosecution in exchange for turning state's evidence . </P> <P> There have been reports that Kasabian wanted to tell her story to the prosecutors, with or without any kind of deal, to "get it out of my head", as chief prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi described it, but that her attorney, Gary Fleischman, insisted that she remain silent until the district attorney made an offer of immunity . Kasabian, who was then pregnant with her second child, agreed to the immunity offer . </P> <P> The immunity agreement was seen at the time as a somewhat controversial option for the prosecution for a number of reasons . Some wanted her to be fully prosecuted for the crimes . However, though Kasabian had been an accomplice to the murders (their driver and lookout) and she had not prevented the crimes or contacted the police or the sheriff afterwards, she had not entered either residence and had not physically participated in any of the murders . She had been described as reluctant and extremely upset during the events of both nights, even challenging Manson ("I'm not you, Charlie . I can't kill anyone"), and she was the only member of the group to express remorse and sympathy for the victims . When brought back to the Tate residence to help reconstruct the crime there, Kasabian reportedly suffered an emotional breakdown . </P> <P> Taking the witness stand, Kasabian was the chief witness for the prosecution, and she tearfully recounted the murders in vivid detail . She related to the trial jury all that she had seen and heard during her stay with the "family" and during the commission of the murders . Her testimony was considered to be the most dramatic segment of the very long trial, and it received an unprecedented amount of news media coverage . During the trial, unjailed members of the Manson "family" led a campaign of intimidation against Kasabian in an effort to prevent her from testifying . The actual defendants in the crime constantly disrupted her testimony with a blizzard of dramatic courtroom theatrics . Manson would run a finger across his throat, glaring at Kasabian as she testified, an act he would repeat during the testimony of other prosecution witnesses . </P>
