SLA Radical Paroled from CA Prison



SACRAMENTO, (AP)  -- The last captured member of the notorious 1970s-era Symbionese Liberation Army has been released from a northeastern California prison.

The radical group was best known for kidnapping newspaper heiress Patty Hearst.

A Corrections spokesman says James William Kilgore was paroled Sunday from High Desert State Prison in Susanville.

The 61-year-old Kilgore completed a six-year sentence for the murder of suburban Sacramento housewife Myrna Opsahl during an April 1975 bank robbery.

Kilgore has permission to serve his parole on state and federal charges in Illinois. His wife moved to Illinois after Kilgore was arrested in 2002 in Cape Town, South Africa, after nearly three decades on the run.
