Sentence restored for Sara Jane Olson, former SLA member

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The former Symbionese Liberation Army fugitive who hid for years by posing as an ordinary housewife in Minnesota had a year restored to the sentence she is serving for trying to bomb police cars.

In 2001, Sara Jane Olson, formerly known as Kathleen Soliah, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in prison for attempting to bomb police cars in 1975 with the SLA, the group best known for kidnapping newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst.

The state Board of Prison Terms had reduced Olson's sentence by a year. But the state Attorney General's Office appealed that decision and an appeals court panel restored her full sentence Thursday. It ruled a lower court had not followed proper procedure when it allowed Olson to appeal her sentence.

Olson also pleaded guilty in 2003 to second-degree murder in connection with the 1975 shooting death of a customer during a bank robbery in Carmichael, near Sacramento. She is serving six years in that case. The two sentences are running consecutively.

Olson disappeared from California after being charged in the attempted bombings.

She was caught 24 years later when her minivan was pulled over by police near her St. Paul, Minn., home. She had changed her name and was living as a housewife with a husband and three school-age daughters.

Olson is in custody at the Central Women's Facility in Chowchilla.
