IN BRIEF / CHOWCHILLA<br>
Sentence Reduced by a Year for Sara Jane Olson<br>
From Times Wire Reports<br><br>
September 8, 2004<br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. <br><br>
But a Sacramento judge dismissed the term in July, saying that the board
had "abused its discretion" by following prosecutors'
recommendation.<br>
