Superior Judge Stanley Mosk in Los Angeles called the release of Eric Newton Bass, now 18, from California Youth Authority custody after two years for first degree murder shocking. Bass was recommitted to the CYA in Victorville after pleading guilty to carrying a concealed weapon.

The case involved him and three others in the robbery murder of Frederick W. H. 18, son of a bakery executive in Pacific Palisades, on July 23.
