Alleged SLA Member Waives Extradition
A man charged in a deadly 1975 bank robbery blamed on members of the Symbionese Liberation Army on Wednesday waived extradition to California.
“I just want to get down there as soon as possible,” Michael Bortin told a Multnomah County judge in Portland, Ore.
Bortin, 53, is among five people who were charged last week with murder and robbery for the crime in Carmichael, Calif.
Also charged are former SLA members Emily Harris and William Harris, Sara Jane Olson and James Kilgore, who has been a fugitive since the 1970s.
