Court Appearance for Ex-SLA Fugitive Delayed
A federal court appearance was postponed Monday for James Kilgore, a former Symbionese Liberation Army member accused of evading bomb and murder charges for decades.
The hearing -- moved to next week -- was to review whether lawyers are on pace for a March 4 trial. The former fugitive is accused of being part of the radical group that kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst. He faces federal charges of possessing a pipe bomb and using a false name to get a passport.
Kilgore also faces state charges stemming from the death of a woman during a Sacramento bank robbery.
