I had to read the story as I did not recognize her name. sounds like she is the luckiest felon of all time to me.
"she evaded capture for 23 years, and in the meantime, became a doctor's wife, mother of three, community volunteer, veteran of charity work in Africa and practicing Methodist living in an upscale neighborhood in St. Paul."
so serve 10 years with good behavior and thats it. I think she should serve more time.

Depends on your opinion of the role of prisons in our society. If their role is to rehabilitate, I think her actions while she was on the lam prove she can be a prodcutive member of society. If you are of the opinion that prisons function only to isolate the bad guys from the rest of us, then she should stay.

She was with the group that was involved with Patty Hearst?

The victims of the SLA might just agree with you.

I think she should be set free. Thats only from what I know is written here because I dont know who she is. But from what I see written about her here is she has proven to a good person and made an error in her youth.
We set people free for far much less.

From the link above (emphasis mine):
After attending the University of California, Santa Barbara, Olson moved to Berkeley in the early 1970s. There, she met Angela Atwood in 1972, and the two became best friends and roommates, Olson told L.A. Weekly in a 2002 interview shortly before she was imprisoned.
After Atwood and five other SLA members were killed in a 1974 gunfight with the Los Angeles Police Department, Olson appeared at a memorial in Berkeley's Ho Chi Minh Park to eulogize her friend.
"SLA soldiers, although I know it's not necessary to say, keep fighting. I'm with you, and we are with you," Olson told the crowd.
Almost a year later, Olson took part in two bank robberies to help fund the SLA, according to court documents. During the Carmichael robbery, Olson "entered the bank with a firearm and kicked a nonresisting pregnant teller in the stomach. The teller miscarried after the robbery," the documents said.
In August 1975, Los Angeles police found homemade bombs under two squad cars. They were designed to explode when the car moved, but neither device detonated.
Authorities cast the attempted bombings as payback for the bloody shootout that left Atwood and other SLA members dead.
A probe into the gunbattle helped police arrest Hearst, the granddaughter of publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst, who claimed she had been kidnapped, raped and brainwashed by the SLA.
In her book "Every Secret Thing," Hearst put Olson at the center of the Carmichael robbery.

The family and friends of Myrna Opsahl who was killed in the bank robbery in the Sacramento/Carmichael area do not think she should be set free and I would agree with them. It's already happened though, she's out of prison. |

She's clearly not a danger today, so why waste tax dollars supporting her in prison?
Let her go. |

We let rapists and child killers our just to 'make room'. Keep her out and make room for them in prison.
Better yet, burn THEM at the stake.
