The memorable quote was from General Yolanda "It's just like pigs to glorify a mouse."

Micheal Borton holds a press conference claiming he is "not guilty"

This is so lame as to be pathetic. Prosecution hasn't had to do "discovery" yet so we don't know what Sacramento has and meanwile prosecution can ask for discovery of what the defense publicly claimed. I love it!

Meanwhile, a message to Jim Kilgore; Your "roll value" is and will not ever be higher.

why do you think Kilgore might be dead?

You've mentioned several times "if Kilgore is still alive". It would be unusual for someone with no known health problems to be dead before age 55, and we also have Zenque777777's statements that Kilgore is still alive. Although all your messages point to the idea that Kilgore is still alive, the fact that you mention it at all makes me think you may have some other information pointing in the opposite direction, suggesting Kilgore might be dead. Anything you can share?

Jim Kilgore

Kilgore has been totally off the radar since the mid to late 1970's. Kilgore's father died a year or two ago. Police sensed he knew something but didn't talk. Outside of that it's only been Borton's occassional statements.

Something I heard a while back was Borton at one time alledgedly refering to "his friend in Boston". On the lam Borton was here in Minnesota and then Boston.

Curiously, in Hearst's book there was a passage where Hearst was describing how they were thinking of moving to "Oregon or Boston".

Other trivia. That "Kilgore in a chair" picture I have was taken around 20 miles from the home of Kilgore's parents in January 1999. He was a tree surgeon. Early reports after the Soliah arrest said that Kilgore was a tree surgeon. Police had enough info to check out the Kilgore in a chair guy so I suspect he wasn't Kilgore but people thought he was.

Greg,

Do you suspect that the authorities might make a plea bargin with St Paul's most famous terrorist?

Would dear Sara Jane cop a plea for a lenient sentence for testimony that sees the Harris's on death row?

First off there is no possibility of a death sentence here.

California did not have a death sentence then.

As for Soliah copping a plea for testifying that was, I belive the hope at first but Soliah has severe credibility problems if she wanted to "roll". It's been two and a half years after the St, Paul arrest. Soliah has also denied involvement on videotape at least three times I can recall, The Smiley/ABC 20-20 interview and the two "rant" news conferences.

The defense obviously tries to impinge the credibility of any witness and they would cite the things I mentioned above if Soliah were to try turn states evidence.

I doubt that Emily Harris/Montigue could get by rolling because she alledgedly pulled the trigger but she has refrained from an public statements that would prevent this.

Borton is married to a Soliah (and has "never roll" Tony Serra as a lawyer. Oddly, Bill Harris wasn't alledgedly inside the bank and seems to not have said anything too incriminating. While the trial is technically about a bank roberry murder it might stretch credibility to have Bill Harris roll.

The wild card is Jim Kilgore. When people die the medical examiners routinely take fingerprints and check out ID paperwork. Going back to the unibomber investigation Kilgore has been on the "high watch" lists. (I recall one investigator saying in a story that if Kilgore had been booked in a jail or got a felony his fingerprints would have shown up).

If Kilgore is still alive his roll value would be greatest if turned himself in, less value but still good if he he rolled right after being caught. Kilgore's roll value drops to near zero after the Sacramento trial is over.

In short I don't see any of the SLA four rolling but Kilgore is a wild card.
