U.S.: “Squeaky” gets out: Wannabe Ford assassin released from prison

  • The former Manson family member was in 34 years. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme was convicted in 1975 of attempting to shoot Gerald Ford. She pointed a gun at him, but was stopped by the Secret Service. (There wasn’t a bullet in the chamber, by the way.) She was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole but got off on good behavior and (we’re guessing) overcrowding. source
