Sarah Jane Olson

[curmugeon]

Looks like the cops got their way and Sarah Jan Olson is back in prison. It is a wonder that the state now says that there was a 'clerical error' and ordered her re-arrest. Smells very political to me. 

I do say that this is a case of politics... no doubt. If it is a clerical error as alleged, then how many other clerical errors have they made?  Are the members of the parole board going to resign for their incompetence?

The article I read said they had denied they had bowed to pressure. Well, they certainly hadn't decided to "reevaluate" her sentence BEFORE they released her, obviously. In fact in that same article they admit that they only did so after they received that aforementioned pressure that they didn't bow to.
