The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously endorsed a resolution
calling for former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson to
remain in prison for the remainder of her sentence.<br><br>
The resolution, approved on a 15-0 vote Wednesday, also calls for Olson
to serve a potential parole term within the state, according to a news
release from the Los Angeles Police Protective League.<br><br>
Olson was paroled March 17 after serving half of a 12-year sentence for
the attempted bombings of two Los Angeles police cars in 1975 and for
acting as the getaway driver in a fatal bank robbery in which a
Carmichael woman, Myrna Opsahl, was killed the same year. <br><br>
Olson was intercepted at Los Angeles International Airport as she
prepared to fly back home to Minnesota and then re-arrested after state
prison officials said they had miscalculated her release date.<br><br>
A motion filed in Sacramento Superior Court by her lawyers claims Olson's
due process rights were violated when she was returned to prison to serve
at least another year behind bars. Her lawyers say that Olson should be
freed from prison because corrections officials had no authority to
re-arrest her.<br><br>
