Judge says former SLA member must remain in prison |
2008-04-29 |
![]() waaaahhhhhhh! Sacramento Superior Court Judge Thomas Cecil wrote that Olson had not proved that her release was the result of anything but a clerical mistake and that she must serve up to two more years in prison in connection with the 1975 murder of a Carmichael woman during a bank robbery. who remains dead Olson, a former member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, was released from a women's prison in Chowchilla last month after corrections officials miscalculated her parole date. She was free for four days before being taken back into custody minutes before boarding a plane in Los Angeles. Her attorney argued that officials had no authority to arrest her again and acted without due process. apparently, her attorney was ....wrong Following her release, corrections officials said they had not taken into account the time Olson was ordered to serve for her role in the 1975 killing of Myrna Lee Opsahl, a 42-year-old mother of four gunned down in the lobby of the Crocker National Bank. Olson, who went by the name Kathleen Soliah with the SLA, pleaded guilty in 2001 to attempting to bomb Los Angeles police cars, and to second-degree murder in connection with Opsahl's death. in a plea bargain. Bitch should be in for life "Finally, Kathleen Soliah will serve at least one year for the murder of my mom," Opsahl's son, Jon Opsahl, told The Bee Tuesday. "I'm just glad the judge ruled the way he did." Olson could be freed as early as next March for good behavior, corrections officials said when she was rearrested. I'd be looking for a way to extend her stay, costs be damned, just like her soul |

#3 I'll give the state a buck twenty-five to buy a nice lightfield 12ga sabot slug to put through her grape. Heck, they can even borrow my slug gun to do it with. |

#1 You're right, she should have been "in for life." However, her "lifespan" should only have been for long enough to prepare the gas chamber for her. She took the life of an innocent person, she deserves to forfeit her own. |
