		In less than a month, Kathleen Soliah - known as Sara Jane Olson in the Twin Cities - is due back in a Los Angeles County courtroom for a pre-trial hearing on charges she conspired to kill Los Angeles police officers.
		Freed on $1 million bail, Soliah is waiting under electronic surveillance at home in St. Paul for her trial to begin.

		Her companions left Opsahl to bleed on the floor while Soliah, according to the account of getaway driver Patty Hearst, pillaged the cash drawers and gave a pregnant teller a good kick in the gut.

	Murder victim is again lost in glare of spotlight on SLA
		Soliah was recruited into the SLA in 1974, at a time when the group was trying to regain its footing after a fiery shootout with police left them leaderless and decimated.
		Soliah, an actress, bookstore worker and progressive activist in Berkeley at the time, was devastated -- a close friend and fellow actress, Angela Atwood, was among the SLA members killed.
		In one of those odd twists of fate, Soliah has become, at least superficially, much like the woman who was killed in the SLA robbery in Carmichael: Both married doctors, stayed at home to raise their children, were active in their churches and did volunteer work.

		Soliah, 52, pleaded not guilty to charges she planted explosives beneath the cars of Los Angeles police officers in 1975 while a member of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army.
		Susan Jordan, one of Soliah's lawyers, tried to put her decision to flee in context of the social and political upheavals of the mid-1970s.
		Prosecutors argued that Soliah's two-decade evasion of authorities and the possibility that she could face charges in an SLA bank robbery-slaying near Sacramento in 1975 would justify either a high bail or none at all.
