I can't speak authoritatively, but it's my understanding that not all members of the Manson family were involved in the murders. In Squeaky's case, she was in prison for an attempted assasination of Ford and served 34 years. Since Ford wasn't harmed and since she's not technically a murderer it's not surprising perhaps that she might be paroled. I don't know about the other one.
