State corrections officials said they released Olson early because of a "clerical error." They said she must now return to a women's prison in Chowchilla to serve as many as two more years for her role in crimes including the 1975 murder of a Carmichael woman during a bank robbery.
Ugh. CDCR regrets the error. I bet. They sent 8 corrections officers to get her at the airport right before she was due to depart for Minnesota to see family. Her lawyer is pissed.
Alberto Roldan, general counsel for the corrections agency, said Olson's sentencing is "extremely complicated" because of all the changes to California sentencing law since the crimes were committed in the mid-1970s. He said time was wrongly shaved off Olson's sentence in 2004 but not noticed until media coverage heated up following her release on Monday.
Anyone else have the image of dude at home watching KCRA and going "wait, she's out already? Hmmmm."
Says the husband of the incarcerated's victim: "'Of course, I like to see people who commit crimes brought to justice. … But I feel the thing is over with and life has to go on.'"
