Stockton — The Superior Court has sentenced Priscilla Cooper, 22, reputed member of the Charles Manson cult, to state prison for being a accessory in a Nov. 12 slaying. Miss Cooper was one of four persons charged in connection with the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Lauren Willett, whose body was discovered buried in the basement of a house at 720 W. Flora St., Stockton.

Superior Court Judge James P. Darrah allowed Miss Cooper 220 days credit for time served in the county jail awaiting conclusion of the case.

Michael Lee Monfort, 24, a transient, charged with Mrs. Willett’s slaying, and James Terrill Craig, 33, a transient, charged with being an accessory, were sentenced to state prison April 30 by Judge Darrah.

The remaining defendant in the case, Nancy L. Pitman, 25, also a reputed member of the “Manson Family,” is undergoing a 90-day diagnostic study at a correctional facility pending her re-appearance before Judge Darrah for sentencing on an accessory charge.
