i don't know why she has been freed, unless the feds did not want to bear the expenses of an illness or her care as an increasingly elderly inmate.

Would-be Ford assassin freed from prison on parole
  • Story Highlights
  • Sara Jane Moore was released on parole from a federal prison in California
  • Moore tried to assassinate President Ford in 1975
  • Moore, now 77, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison


    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- One of the women who tried to assassinate President Ford 32 years ago was released on parole Monday from a federal prison in California, according to a Bureau of Prisons spokesman.





    Sara Jane Moore looks out a car window as she heads to federal court in this 1975 photo.


    Sara Jane Moore, 77, was released in the morning from the federal women's prison in Dublin, outside San Francisco, according to Mike Truman of the Bureau of Prisons.

    There was no immediate comment from the prison facility, where Moore had been Inmate No. 04851180. Officials said she had a recent parole hearing, but they did not know what prompted her release.

    Nor was it clear what her plans are or where she is headed.

    The former nurse and mother of five had been trying for 20 years to gain her freedom.

    Moore was arrested in September 22, 1975, outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco after firing a single shot at Ford. A bystander had grabbed Moore's arms just before she fired a .38 caliber revolver and was credited with probably saving the president's life. The bullet missed Ford's head by inches.

    Seventeen days earlier Ford survived another attempt on his life by Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California.

    Moore pleaded guilty to attempted assassination and was sentenced to life in prison. At the time she had been married and divorced seven times.

    In recent interviews Moore said she regretted her actions, which she said were motivated by radical revolutionary politics.

    As an inmate she worked as an accountant in the prison drapery factory.

    Ford died December 26, 2006, from natural causes.

I always thought life meant life.  Did they have life without parole back then?  Or was it something like 25 to life for her.  I remember Squeaky, but I had forgotten her.

Interestng.

Well, she was 45 years old when she tried to kill the President. I guess she had about twenty-five years before that to marry and divorce seven times.

BTW, Squeaky Fromme is incarcerated here in Fort Worth.

It will be interesting to know why she was released. Does seem odd when she was in for LIFE.




Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

I lived smack dab next door to the guy who sold her the gun she used.

What a nightmare. Police and media crawling all over. Every once in a while,

for weeks afterward, I'd get a reporter from Canada or someplace at the

door!

 

What I want to know is, how come none of us heard about this beforehand?

You know how we always get those little blurbs about someone coming up

for parole. Sure didn't this time. There might have been a hue and cry,

then again maybe not.

well if she was released for medical reasons, you wouldn't get the notice beforehand like you do for manson family members.

Yeah, I know that, I guess I just mean that there haven't been any

updates or anything. The last time there was even a small blurb about

her that I heard was years ago. Usually there's one of those "sources

from inside the prison say Sarah Jane Moore is in failing health" type

deals. Or whatever, she just seemed to have slpped WAY under any

media radar.
