The Los Angeles City Council endorsed a resolution calling for ex-Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson to serve out the rest of her prison term.
Olson had been paroled in March after serving half of a 12-year sentence for her role in a deadly 1975 bank robbery and an attempt to bomb two Los Angeles police cars.
However, Olson was back in custody a few days after her release when California prison officials discovered a mistake in the calculation of her release. She will serve at least another year.
