The last remaining captured member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, James Kilgore, was released from prison yesterday on parole for a federal explosives and passport fraud charge. He evaded capture longer than any of the other SLA members, and was finally extradited from South Africa in 2002. Kilgore is the last to be released of the gang who kidnapped Patty Hearst, committed a deadly robbery at the Crocker National Bank in Carmichael, California in 1975, where bank customer Myrna Opsahl was murdered. Most recently, cohort Sara Jane Olsen was released from prison on March 17th. Under his parole arrangement, Kilgore will serve out his term in Indiana where his wife relocated after his conviction. more ›
