LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Council has endorsed a resolution asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to ensure that former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson serves her full sentence and any parole in California.
Olson, who's now 61, spent 23 years on the run after a failed 1975 pipe-bombing attempt on two Los Angeles police cars and a bank holdup near Sacramento in which one person was slain. At the time her name was Kathleen Soliah.
She was a Minnesota housewife when she was captured. In 2001 she pleaded guilty to various crimes and got a 12-year sentence. In March, she was mistakenly freed early and would have been paroled to Minnesota. However, she was rearrested and won't be freed until March 2009.
