Biography

House painter and brother of Kathleen Soliah, a member of the SLA's second formation and a roommate of Michael Bortin. Captured with the Harrises, Patty Hearst and Wendy Yoshimura on September 18, 1975 and indicted in 1976 for the Carmichael bank robbery and the Opsahl killing. Acquitted at his federal bank-robbery trial in 1976 after an alibi witness testified he was with her in San Francisco at the time. Never re-charged with the Opsahl killing in 2002 because of double-jeopardy from the federal acquittal.
