In early August 1969, members of the Manson Family committed homicides in Los Angeles. They were found guilty in the murders of film star Sharon Tate and four others in her residence on August 8 and 9, 1969 and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca the following day.
Tex Watson and three other family members supposedly carried out the Tate-LaBianca murders on Charles' orders. Although the court hearing later admitted that Charles did not explicitly order the murders, his actions were sufficient to justify a guilty verdict for first-degree killing and conspiracy to undertake homicide.
Other family members were also liable for other acts of violence, thefts, and crimes, including Lynette' Squeaky' Fromme's attempted murder of President Gerald Ford in Sacramento.
Although Milles is widely assumed to have never assassinated or tried to kill anybody, true crime writer James Buddy Day asserted in his book Hippie Cult Leader that Mille gunned down drug dealer Bernard Crowe. However, Crowe did not die.
On 22 April 1971, he was taken into state prison from Los Angeles County for seven charges of first-degree murder and one charge of conspiracy to undertake murder in connection with the passing of Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Ann Folger, Sharon Tate Polanski, Steven Earl Parent, Jay Sebring, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.
He received life in prison without the chance of probation after the death punishment was deemed unlawful in 1972. On 2 February 1977, the court reduced his death punishment to life in prison.

On 1 January 2017, Milles fell sick at Corcoran Prison and was taken to Mercy Hospital in downtown Bakersfield due to gastrointestinal bleeding. After treatment, he was discharged from the hospital to prison on 6 January 2017.
