Do you think Soliah's sitting in her cell tonight singing, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here!"?

"Emily Harris was arrested in Los Angeles, Bill Harris in Oakland and Bortin at his home near Portland, Ore., sources said. Olson is awaiting sentencing in Los Angeles in another SLA related case."

This is what I call good news!

Justice delayed is better than no justice at all.

Soon. But I bet she's really licking her chops in hopes she gets Emmie Harris as her new roomie.

Olsen: "I was not in Los Angeles, I did not place those bombs under those cars...I am innocent."

A fourth former member of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army, Sara Jane Olson, will be charged with first degree murder in the 27-year-old slaying of Myrna Opsahl in a Carmichael bank robbery.

It's my understanding that she's scheduled to surrender and be sentenced on Friday, 1/18.

How likely is it that she'll show up?

Open Letter to Kathleen Soliah and the other former members of the SLA Gang

You can pretend all you want. You can deceive who you will. But, I know what you did, and I know who you really are. You killed Myrna Opsahl and you have never expressed any remorse. You're not a model citizen as you profess. You are a cold-blooded killer.

You helped plan the bank robbery. You agreed to use loaded guns. You were there when Myrna Opsahl was shot. You saw her fall to the floor. You heard her moan in agony. You watched her writhe in pain. You chose to let her die in a pool of blood. Afterward, you sympathized with the shooter, Emily Harris, and you accepted your comrade's callous statement: "Her death doesn't matter! She was a bourgeois pig, a doctor's wife, an expendable member of an expendable class!"

Your brother, Steve Soliah, was acquitted on perjured testimony. But, Patricia Hearst, Michael Bortin, and Wendy Yoshimura all confessed to the crime and confirmed that you were one of the robbers in the bank. Now you've been caught and charged with the attempted murder of police officers. Do you actually expect that your acting skills and high priced lawyers will get you off? How can you ask the very people you have deceived to pay for your defense when you know you are guilty?

You can try to hide your shame and your guilt with a new name. You can hope that your family and your friends don't care about your dreadful past any more than you do. You can even marry a doctor, raise a family, and volunteer in your community, but you will never earn the status of a model citizen, because 25 years ago you helped murder a true one.

Stop trying to flee from justice. Your attempt at appearing innocent while protecting your co-conspirators is failing. It's obvious where your loyalties still lie. It's obvious that you have not reformed. You need to accept the facts: Myrna Opsahl's death does matter. She was not expendable. She was a loving wife and mother. She had the right to live, and society has the right to demand justice.

Jon Opsahl

It was interesting that when Tom Brokaw did the "three arrested" story during Nightly News tonight,he didn't give the names and mentioned Olson/Soliah re:her upcoming sentencing without indicating she was charged with this also.I mentioned to my wife-why didn't he name those arrested?

Any ideas?

Were the Harrises and Borton living in hiding (right in California) under assumed names all this time?
