Paroled Manson Family member and alleged would-be Gerald Ford assassin Squeaky Fromme has been released from prison. She was granted the parole in 2008 but had to serve extra time for briefly escaping in 1987. Her prison experience included an attempted attack on another inmate with a clawhammer.Fromme was originally convicted to life in prison for pointing a gun at then-president Ford, a gun that was loaded but had no round in the chamber. Fromme always maintained that she wasn't going to shoot Ford but just wanted to get his attention so she could discuss the plight of the redwoods with him. She'd make a great town hall protester.
