California Says Radical Paroled By Mistake
Posted on: Saturday, 22 March 2008, 21:00 CDT
California corrections officials say a former member of the Symbionese Liberation Army rearrested Saturday had been released by mistake a few days ago.
Kathleen Soliah, who built a new life in Minnesota as Sara Jane Olson, must remain in prison for another year, CNN reported. Scott Kernan, deputy secretary of the Department of Corrections, said she will not be eligible for release until March 17, 2009.
Olson, the name Soliah now uses legally, was paroled Monday. She was detained late Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, where she was about to board a plane for Minnesota.
A police escort took her to her mother's house in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles, where she was taken into custody at noon Saturday.
She was arrested in 1999 after she was featured on America's Most Wanted. She had been living with her husband, an emergency room doctor, and three daughters.
In 2001, she agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to bomb Los Angeles police cars and to a second-degree murder charge for a bank robbery in which a customer was shot. The SLA, a radical group active in the 1970s, was best known for kidnapping newspaper heiress Patty Hearst.
