A man who says he’s the grandson of Charles Manson will not get to claim the mass murderer’s remains, a judge in California ruled.

Jason Freeman, one of three men in contention for the right to the deceased cult leader’s estate, will not be allowed to pick up Manson’s body from the morgue where it is being stored, according to TMZ, at least for now.
