Release sought for former SLA member; was sent back to Calif. SACRAMENTO (AP) — Lawyers for former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson are asking a California judge to release her from state prison. A motion filed Tuesday in Sacramento County Superior Court says state corrections officials had no authority to re-arrest her after she was paroled last week. Olson served six years in prison for the attempted bombings of Los Angeles police cars and the shooting death of a customer during a bank robbery near Sacramento in the 1970s. Prison officials say they miscalculated her sentence and now say she should serve seven years. The 61-year-old Olson was paroled March 17 but was intercepted Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport as she was about to fly home to Minnesota. More California News
