Biography
Linda J. Quint, later known as Emily L. Quint Freeman, was one of the Chicago 15. Police arrested her after the group burned about 40,000 Selective Service records on May 25, 1969 and took the participants to Cook County Jail. She appeared for most of the 1970 trial but went underground before the verdict. A jury convicted her on June 5, 1970, and she received two consecutive five-year terms in absentia on June 23. The Seventh Circuit later vacated the judgment and remanded her case for resentencing. She remained a fugitive for roughly twenty years and did not serve the ten-year sentence. The release date from her initial 1969 arrest remains unresolved.
