IN BRIEF / CHOWCHILLA
Sentence Reduced by a Year for Sara Jane Olson
 From Times Wire Reports

September 8, 2004

Nearly three decades after her role in the attempted bombings of Los 
Angeles police cruisers, former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane 
Olson had one year shaved off her sentence for what prosecutors called a 
1970s act of terrorism.

The 13-year sentence given Tuesday replaces the one handed down two years 
ago by the state Board of Prison Terms, which cited the crime's potential 
for violence and harm.

But a Sacramento judge dismissed the term in July, saying that the board 
had "abused its discretion" by following prosecutors' recommendation.
