Leslie Van Houten, a member of the Manson family who was involved in one of the group's string of murders, has been released from prison.

Van Houten was convicted in 1971 of two counts of first-degree murder for her role in the murder of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in 1969. She was released on Tuesday, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed to the Associated Press.

Her release came after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced he would no longer object to her release after appealing four times as governor.

“The governor is disappointed by the Court of Appeal’s decision to release Ms. Van Houten but will not pursue further action as efforts to further appeal are unlikely to succeed,” Newsom's communications director, Erin Mellon, said in a statement.

She admitted to holding down Rosemary LaBianca as she was stabbed to death, then stabbed her posthumously, the New York Times reported. The murder came just one day after the more famous murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others in the house of film director Roman Polanski. Van Houten later expressed regret over the crime, claiming she had been brainwashed by leader Charles Manson.

She was originally sentenced to death but was saved after California abolished the death penalty one year after her conviction.
