That is not to say that I think it is a mistake for the state of CA to pursue this case, only to warn that it is not going to be your grandmother's delicious fruitcake.

I thought bank robbery was a Federal offense. Olsen has a lot to gain by copping a plea and testifying against her old gang. Or the four of them could blame each other as the shooter. It has been done before.

I stand corrected, it is a Federal offense. And it ought to be verry interresting seeing these former comrades turn on each other, as I suspect they will having lost and forgotten their common cause of three decades ago.

Good points there. And yes, you are right. It was 25. As you state, that's 25 or more years beyond what her victim got. That lady at the bank didn't get to bear and raise children.

heh... heh... heh...

I've been observing with considerable sadistic glee, the "Torment" of these 60's radicals who've gotten caught after squirreling themselves comfortably away in society, and are now whining like a bad alternator bearing over how "Unfair" it is.

Sarah Jane, little girl, I have a quote I'd like to offer you in your time of trial and tribulation: "One must never TOY with insurrection".

Three guesses who said that, Sarah? Oh, never mind. You obviously don't know, or you wouldn't have done what you did, Sarah.

So... it was good old Vladimir Illyich - LENIN - who said that, Sarah.

Methinks maybe you and the rest of your 60's "Idealists" who now find themselves belatedly ensconced in the none-too-comfortable suites of the Concrete Hotel, should have READ what your lord and mentor wrote, a little more carefully, perhaps?

I think the prosecutors want her to rat on the others they just arrested in exchange for a break or two. Maybe a TV in her cell for those Jane Fonda exercise videos...

Since they arrested the other SLA members today without any public announcement of new evidence, do you think she squealed?

That lady at the bank didn't get to bear and raise children.

While I agree with your sentiments, Opsahl's son is leading the battle to prosecute these arrogant Sixties terrorists. It's true she didn't have a chance to enjoy her grandchildren even though Soliah probably will.

This whole L.A. thing stinks, starting with Judge Larry Fidler, who knew very well the law had been changed and that his 20-year sentence would in all likelihood be changed.

"Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler pointed out there has been a change in the law since the time of the charges in Los Angeles, and the Board of Prison Terms will recalculate Olson's sentence after she is in prison," says an AP story under Linda Deutsch's by-line in my Ventura Star "news"paper today. "She could have fixed [sic] as little as five years," Fidler said. I can't find anything that explains the "change in the law," and sure don't recall reading anything about it.

We can only hope the Sacramento jury will do what needs to be done in regard to the

I'm not sure what laws are being touted here, but the federal anti-terrorism laws are specific and severe. This woman participated in placing bombs under police cars. She's convicted. She's going to spend a lot of time behind bars.

I do agree with you that she needs to be taken to task in Sacramento. I hope that happens.

As for her children, the point I attempted to make was that she didn't get to spend 25 more years enjoying the types of things that Sarah Jane did. If I didn't make that clear, I screwed up.

Thanks for the comments.

No, I think your comments were clear. I was just pointing out that she did live long enough to have children but I understood your point.

I just re-read the newspaper article and maybe I've come down too hard on Judge Fidler. He may have given her the stiffest sentence possible under the options available to him: two consecutive, not concurrent, 10-year terms. Maybe someone better versed in the applicable law can answer the question.

I don't know about thubs, the elbow reference was a euphemism for a drinking problem that was pretty well-known in San Francisco society. My sources on Patty are all people who knew her fairly well beforehand.

Thanks Bernard. Didn't want you to think I took offense at your comments at all.
