A Sacramento County judge has declined to free former 1970s radical Sara Jane Olson after she was sent back to prison following a mixup by state corrections officials.

Olson was freed in March from the women's prison in Chowchilla but was quickly re-arrested after officials discovered they had miscalculated her release date by one year.

Her attorneys then asked Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cecil to order her release, arguing that state corrections officials had no authority to re-arrest her. They also claimed Olson's due-process rights were violated.

In a ruling made public Tuesday, the judge says Olson had not shown that corrections officials acted illegally.

Ha!

Darn! And she was so looking forward to joining Barry O’s campaign team!

Obambi will pardon her......then give her a job in his administration........

[jazusamo]

Excellent! A judge with common sense.

While I am not pleased that this murderess will not be executed for her crimes, or even get life, I have to say that I am delighted that she really believed she was going home and they yanked her back for another year.

For someone as self-absorbed as she is, that must have driven her absolutely crazy.

[onedoug]

A little bit of justice after all.

[noname07718]

Yeah. I took a perverse delight in that. To taste freedom after all of those years and then to lose it very dramatically and abruptly. I had to be a terrible experience.

I loved it!

Ever notice how the MSM refuses to use her real name, Kathleen Ann Soliah? Why would that be?

[stevem]

I have to admit, every now and then something truly glorious happens to truly grim people. This was an example.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Anywhere else she’d have faced 1st degree murder and gotten a life sentence.

... a mixup by state corrections officials.

I'm glad they caught their mixup but I hope they were disciplined for it.

Letting someone go and then jerking them back to the pen has got to hurt.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Same reason they refer to transvestites as “she's”.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I guess she won’t be out in time to vote for Barry.

“Letting someone go and then jerking them back to the pen has got to hurt.”

Yeah. Too bad they can’t do it again.

[HardStarboard]

Is it too late to bring William Ayers and Bernadette Dorn up on charges in front of this judge?

[Fireone]

I still think Soliah should serve a year each for the 24
years she was on the run, to be added when she completes
her original sentence of 14 years.
