Cult Follower To Be Released From Prison
On August 16th., 60 year old Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, follower of cult leader Charles Manson, is set to be released from the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, after serving more than 30 years behind bars. The, then-26 year old Fromme, was imprisoned in West Virginia in the 1980s after being convicted of aiming a semi-automatic pistol at President Gerald Ford in an attempt to assassinate him in September 1975 in Sacramento, California. Fromme escaped from the women's prison in Alderson, West Virginia in 1987, but she was arrested two days later just a few miles away from the prison.
