Woman pleads guilty to Brinks robbery, murders

Once-defiant radical fugitive Kathy Boudin, now appearing remorseful, was sentenced to 17 years in prison, after pleading guilty Thursday to the 1981 Brink's armored car robbery and murders. Three persons died in the $1.6 million holdup.

Reading from a prepared statement, Miss Boudin said, ''I have led a life of commitment to political principles, and I believe I can continue my commitment to be true to these principles in various ways without engaging in violent acts.''
