The woman who tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford is expected to be released from prison on August 16 after serving her sentence.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a one-time follower of mass murderer Charles Manson, has been serving a life sentence .
Fromme has been incarcerated at a prison in Fort Worth, Texas.
Fromme had told her defense attorney she staged the attack because she "wanted to get some attention for a new trial" for Manson and members of his gang.

“August 16 after serving her sentence.”
I can’t really say I remember a time, but was there ever a time when a life sentence was meant for life? I could have sworn that trying to kill a head of state was an automatic death sentence.

I think in NYS the average time served for murder is something like 7 years.

They should do a story on the guy who knocked the gun away. Wasn’t he a Marine or something.

I can not adequately express my disgust without using language that would get me banned from here.

I bet she ends up on the John Stewart show. Maybe get a VH1 reality show, “Life with Squeaky”
Or can you see her ad endorsements? Ajax—get your bathtub “Squeaky” clean.

Former Marine Oliver Sipple lunged at Sara Jane Moore as she fired at Ford not Squeaky Fromme. A Secret Service Agent tackled Fromme before she took a shot.

iirc, the only thing that saved Ford was she put the magazine into the pistol but wasn't smart enough to know you have to cycle the slide before it's loaded.

Where will she be?
In the DFW area?
She’s sure to be the centerpiece at Obama rallies.
Maybe we could meet her...

I’m guessing her Ayers/Manson mindset is probably a bit less murderous and whacked at this time in her life.
To: Cyber Liberty
Oh well, It could have been worse.
