TL;DR: No big deal, tempest in a teapot.

While that has merits... I think the bigger issue is that it's too soon and tacky. Last I've heard, there are still victims in the hospital recovering.

From my cursory google-fu... Manson was in prison for quite some time when that came out... right?

No. The Rolling Stone issue came out June, 1970. The trial began July 24, 1970. Manson and his followers were convicted January 25, 1971 and sentenced March 29, 1971.
The Rolling Stone isn't deviating from their decades old modus operandi even slightly.
