SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The last fugitive member of the Symbionese Liberation Army to be brought to justice was sentenced Monday to six years in prison for the shotgun slaying of a bank customer during a 1975 holdup.
James Kilgore, 56, who evaded authorities for more than two decades before his November 2002 arrest in South Africa, was the last of five SLA members sentenced for murdering Myrna Opsahl, 42. The housewife and mother of four was killed as she deposited a church collection at Crocker National Bank.
"I can say if there is one day in my life I could live again, it would be that moment," Kilgore said as he apologized to the Opsahl family at Sacramento Superior Court.
