CALIFORNIA - Former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson should be freed from prison immediately because California corrections officials had no authority to re-arrest her after she was paroled last week, her attorneys argued in a court motion filed today. The motion filed in Sacramento County Superior Court claims that Olson's due process rights were violated when she was returned to prison Saturday to serve at least another year behind bars. Olson, 61, was paroled March 17 after serving six years in prison for the attempted bombings of Los Angeles police cars in the 1970s and the shooting death of a customer during a bank robbery in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael in 1975. Officials at the state's Board of Parole Hearings say they discovered Friday that they had miscalculated her sentence. Olson must serve another year beyond the six years she has been imprisoned, they said. She was intercepted at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday night as she was about to fly home to Minnesota, where she had lived as a fugitive for 25 years until she was captured in 1999. |
