Recently a reader asked if there had ever been a poll on the site regarding motive? He feels interested to see what percent of people believe each of the motives. He got us curious too.
There are six choices. Pick one and cast your vote, even if we don't have one that fits perfectly into your personal theory - just pick the closest. We can discuss the rest in the comments section.
Helter Skelter
Get a Brother Out of Jail
Drug Burn with Watson at the center
Polanski was the target (related to dealings with nepharious Hollywood figures - with child molestation at the root)
A strong message to the music business (Melcher, Wilson, Kaufman, etc.)
Sinister Connection to Organized Crime (including the Brotherhood of Eternal Love)
