It's Now 20 Years In Slammeramma For Sara Jane Olson

Posted on 01/18/2002 10:56:44 AM PST by MindBender26

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Former Symbionese Liberation Army fugitive Sara Jane Olson was sentenced today to 20 years to life in prison for conspiring to blow up police cars in 1975.

Following tearful statements from family and friends, Olson said she was "truly sorry" for causing anyone any pain. But she denied trying to murder officers by planting bombs under the two Los Angeles police cars to avenge the deaths of six SLA members during a shootout with authorities in 1974. The bombs didn't explode.

Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler sentenced Olson to two consecutive terms of 10 years to life.

Prior to 9-11 she would have gotten 5 years tops. Her adventures with the SLA were considered the madcap escapades of a youthful college student.

I agree 100%.

A relative bought me the terrorist's cookbook as a semi-serious gift a year ago. It is signed by the author, to me, and I have a video of newscoverage of the signing where she visibly happens to be signing my book. (My relative hung out in circles with the terrorist.)

Think it will fetch much on eBay, or should I just toss it out in the trash?

Most of the recipes look pretty lame, the kind of thing you would expect from Minnesota housewives who were trying be sophisticated.

My mother in law in Minnesota (an unrepentant liberal) actually sent me a copy of a cookbook Kathleen/SaraJane's friends published to raise money for her defense. How much do you think I could get for THAT on ebay?

The next time Minnesota revamps its election system, maybe she should pay for that, too!

Another Democrat going to jail. What else is new.

Notice how Democrats always paint Republicans as rich.

Lets all go down to our local prison and find out how meny robbers, murderers,and rapists are Democrat. Can we use a paint brush too?

Just waint & see some lib attorney will petition and a lib judge grant the 27 years she's been on the run to be applied to her sentence because the stress was punishment enough. Secondly, her time on the run exceeds her 20 year sentence by 7 years therefore she is entitled to compensation for the 7 years of pain and suffering ;-)

The Minnesota women's prison thing I'm sure about, it's practically in my neighborhood. It seems they do crafts and the like, kinda like my sister and her friends have a retreat weekend every year. Not much of a prison.

As for the 2.5 figure, I admit to being fuzzy, hence the marks around -may-. I am not quite clear on the recalculation thing, I've run across no explanation of this. But be aware, it exists. I am quite suspicious of all this, she has many, many friends here in the DFL, the Minnestoa version of the Democrats. She put on live plays before the state legislature, for crying out loud.

For those of us who clearly remember this era in American history, this has to be justice finally served!!! How satisfying.
For Sara Jane, she doesn't have to worry about how she is going to spend her twilight years.....the government will take care of her!!!

The only reason it wasn't murder is that they were poor bomb makers. They had every intention of killing cops and nothing said now by the evil libs will change that. May they all stay in jail for life! My only regret is that they will not be accompanied by the Felon and Hitlery of the same generation and anti-US attitudes.

Her brain should be in juvy, her body in prision.

the more I think of her and her behavior I am beginning to think that she suffers from hyperactivity/mania because her behavior certainly sounds like it....always wants to do "more" for people...which is okay if its your church or your family, I guess, but sadly for her she wanted to do "more" for evil idiots....on top of that, she is a bitter, hateful person no matter how many people think she is such a saint...somtimes these types use community work to cover up their hateful personalities.

not that that changes anything...she deserves time....

maybe if she had gone to the authorities years ago, maybe just if she surrendered peacefully and plead her case and perhaps helped the gov't to prosecute those that were part of the SLA , those that killed Myrna Opsal...perhaps she would be home today...

suffer the fools...

Come to think of it, servicing a dyke may not be so bad compared to that!

in "Every Secret Thing" Patty H sort of implies that Soliah dabbled in the lesbianism thing...IMMSMC( if my memory serves me correctly)..

now, this is where I am SO NIEVE....do many women "dabble" in lesbianism in college or am I just the odd woman out? ( be charitable!)

I agree. I don't see how she gets out in 2.5 years when she was sentenced to two 10 years to life sentences which run consecutively. Things have toughened up in California sentencing. Paroles come a lot harder. I suspect she will be away for at least 15 years or more. Plus, if she is convicted on the murder charge, she will never see the outside world again.

Now, they should go after her husband who was sheltering a known fugitive from justice. They met in Africa. He had to know.
