Pretrial motions in the case of alleged Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson can begin immediately, a state appeals court ruled.
Last week, the 2nd District Court of Appeal delayed Olson's conspiracy trial until September. In a decision issued Tuesday, however, the panel clarified the terms of the four-month delay, saying pretrial hearings can be held, and judicial rulings issued, on motions concerning the admissibility of evidence at trial.
