LOS ANGELES -- A one-time Manson Family disciple convicted in connection with two killings in 1969 was denied parole Thursday.

A parole board panel meeting at the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo decided Bruce Davis should next be eligible for parole in 2008.

This is the 25th time Davis has been denied parole.

Davis, now in his 60s, was convicted along with others in the stabbing death of musician Gary Hinman in his Topanga Canyon home and the slaying of Donald "Shorty" Shea.

Shea's remains were later found buried near the Spahn movie ranch in Chatsworth, where Manson and his disciples lived.

Davis was not involved with other Manson followers in the 1969 murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate, grocery store chain owner Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary.

Manson and his co-defendants have repeatedly been denied parole -- with Manson losing his latest parole bid on May 23 and Leslie Van Houten being denied parole last Thursday.
