LOS ANGELES -- Just days after her release on parole, a former 1970s radical was headed back to prison Saturday to serve at least one more year after corrections officials said a miscalculation resulted in her early release.
Criticism over the early release from prison Monday of Sara Jane Olson, who lived as a fugitive for years in Minnesota, spurred a review of her sentence and the timing of her parole, Scott Kernan, the chief deputy secretary for the California Department of Corrections, said at a news conference. The review revealed that a 2004 miscalculation led to the former Symbionese Liberation Army member being released a year too early, he said.

I don't remember the details, but that had to suck.
Trying to give a damn...... nope, I have no sympathy. Let’s not hear any whining from her lawyers either. The murdered victims of the SLA did not get an “extra year” of anything, only bloody death.
I wonder if some lib in the CA parole/prison system tried to spring her early with this ‘mistake’ and then the matter was re-examined with all the fuss. How on earth could they not be ultra-careful about when to release a frickin’ terrorist? Oh, right it is the People’s Republic of Californication.
Why is she getting so much less than her 20 years anyway? What a disgrace to have a convicted terrorist and long-time fugitive serving only a few years.....
I'm kinda thinkin' that they didn't, but after pressure from police and public, they found a loophole. To which I say, "yay!"
After Accomplice to murder, Plotting to blow up a police car, kidnapping Patty Hearst, Fugitive from the law for 24 years?
I’d tell her that to her face.
I agree. These were not kids from broken homes or poor neighborhoods that formed the SLA. Why the light sentence to begin with?
“She should be locked up for twenty, at least, with no early out.”
She should be shanked.
There is a poll up on CNN’s home page in regards to this. The majority of viewers think she should be free. What a surprise. Please Freep.
And Symbionesia still ain’t free. What a wasted life.
“Sarah Jane Olson” is her cuddly, Minnesota-nice alias. May she rot in hell.
“Olson, 61, was detained at Los Angeles International Airport” Should have taken the train.......
too bad ~ so sad.....
as baretta and bird once said....don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!!!!!!
Not becoming? “Tough luck, b*tch” is an apt sentiment, if you’re not sanctimonious.
Why do they use the terms radical instead of terrorist?
Music to my ears!
No standards, no graces, anymore anywhere -- not even among the self-proclaimed defenders of this civilization.
Cheers...
