Marilyn Jean Buck, who admitted walking away from a federal prison where she was serving a sentence on a weapons charge, was convicted in Charleston, W.Va., of escape and sentenced to five years in prison and fined $5,000. Buck was serving a 10-year sentence when she was granted a furlough from prison in 1977 to visit her lawyer in New York. She never returned to the prison and was recaptured in New York last year. The self-proclaimed member of the Black Liberation Army still faces a New York indictment alleging that while she was at large, she took part in four murders, four armored car robberies and two kidnapings.
