Longet's Release Denied by Colorado Supreme Court
The Colorado Supreme Court quickly upheld District Judge James Carter's denial of Claudine Longet's bid for early release from Aspen jail to observe Mother's Day with her three children. The ruling cited George Lohr's probation condition of 30 consecutive days prior to Sept. 1, noting the order was clear and enforceable. Longet, convicted of criminally negligent homicide in the 1976 Sabich death, remains scheduled to finish her sentence May 15.
