WASHINGTON - The woman who tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford is expected to be released from prison on Aug. 16 after serving her sentence, a U.S. Justice Department official said on Wednesday.

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a one-time follower of mass murderer Charles Manson, has been serving a life sentence but was eligible for parole almost 25 years ago. She had waived her right to parole previously and chose to remain in prison.

The 60-year-old Fromme is scheduled to be released on August 16, according to Felicia Ponce, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Fromme has been incarcerated at a prison in Fort Worth, Texas.

3. I hope people just leave her alone

People who finish up their sentences should be able to live out their years in some relative peace.

5. They will. Will she leave people alone is the question.

4. She's going to have a tail the rest of her life

She'll never be able to go anywhere that it isn't known.

ETA: Secret Service Agents will know their careers have hit a road block when they are assigned to the Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme watch.
