•21>-Th«- Joplin Globe, Sunday. March 21, I«)76. Verdict Climaxes Courtroom Drama Described a s 'Trial of th e Century' District Deaths SA N FRANCISCO (AP) — Th e federal bank robbery trial of newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was one of the most widely publicized court proceedings in recent history. Ke y figures in the trial were U.S. District Court Judge Oliver J. Carter, defense lawyer F. Lee Bail- ey and U.S. Atty. James L. Browning, the government prosecutor. The verdict climaxed a courtroom drama described by one defense attorney as "the tria l of the century." Th e unquestioned star of the drama was Miss Hearst herself, telling at last he r o wn terrifying tale of nearly tw o years in the underground. Frequently tearful an d gasping for breath, she recalled in vivid detail her nightmare months of capti- vity locked in a hot stuffy closet where sh e said sh e wa s raped, tortured an d threatened with execution. "I was really scared," she told her jurors, insisting that these threats of death motivated her avowals of conversion to the terrorist Symbionese Liberation Army. She called her own tape- recorded words of revolu- tion lies and disavowed her secret life as "Tania" of the underground. The tapes were forced by her captors, sh e said, and her gun-toting role in the bank robbery wa s a pose to please them. It was a unique defense. She never denied that she h a d walked into th e Hibernia bank one spring morning and helped rob it. N or did she deny it was her voice which bragged of the robb ery on a taped "communique." What she did deny was that she did any of it will- ingly. Her defense was coercion, and she insisted that sh e believed even as she cradled her gun in the bank that sh e might be exe- cuted at any moment. B ut the gov ernment, in its effort to convict Miss Hearst of armed bank rob- bery, told a different story. A ll but ignoring he r kidnap- ing. Browning used th e heiress' own words as the most damaging evidence against her. On the tape recording she insisted was forced. Miss Hearst's jurors heard her defrlare, "On April 15, my comrades and I expro- priated $10,660.02 from the Sunset B ranch of the Hibernia B ank ... My gun was loaded and at no time did any of my comrades intentionally point their guns at me." The prosecution had other heavy weapons in its are- senal of evidence. There were ban k surveillance films which clearly showed Miss Hearst in the guise of the bewigged "Tania," training her submachine gun on bank customers. A nd there were th e words of a youth wh o quoted the fugitive Miss Hearst as con- fessing the bank robbery to him. "She said she was a willing participant," testi- fied To m Matthews. But Bailey set out to con- vince jurors they could not believe their own eyes and ears — that the films could be interp reted in Miss Hearst's favor and the tapes were carefully coerced lies. Th e trial was rocked sev- eral times by outside occur- ences — most notably the terrorist bombing of the fabled Hearst Castle, San Simeon. Although her jury was sequestered. Miss Hearst took advantage of a Browning error and man- aged to tell them from the witness stand of the bomb- ing and other threats on her life by the New World Lib- eration Front. Officials have said they know littl e about the NWLF, including its size. The group has claimed responsibility fo r several bombings in the San Fran- cisco area. Even now, Miss Hearst said tearfully, "I think there's a good chance I could be killed." Her testimony, designed to prove he r innocence, left some u nanswe red quest ions, including he r activities for nearly a year after she returned to California from flight to the East Coast. But t wrote a partial ending to the bizarre story of political kidnaping and conversion which ha d captivated the world during th e young Patricia Hearst Guilty Patricia Hearst, left, carries weapon during th e 1974 robbery of S an Francisco's Hibernia Bank. Throughout her trial on bank rob- bery charges. Miss Hearst did not deny participating in the robbery. (AP Wirephoto) Instead, sh e denied doing it willing- ly and insisted she believed she might be executed at any momeni. O n Saturday, a federal court jury found her guilty on the bank rob- bery charge. witness stand. Miss Hearst weepingly remembered the knock at her door and a dark form asking to use the phone, then the three abductors rushing in. "Bitch, you'd better be quiet," she said her chief tormentor shouted as she was gagged and blind- folded, her hands tied behind her back. She remembered hearing the screams of her lover, gunshots and more screams as she was stuffed in the trunk of a car and taken away. "I was struck in the face and I lost consciousness." sh e recalled tearfully. "I came to and I was being dragged down th e stairs ... Somebody grabbed me and then I was in the trunk of a car." In her excruciating three- day narrative, Miss Hearst, almost constantly in tears, recalled th e nightmare scenes of her captivity — beginning with her impris- onment in two small closets which became her torture chambers. In those closets, sh e said, she was raped by two SLA "soldiers," William Wolfe and Donald "Cinque" DeF- reeze, and was constantly tormented with threats of instant death. "I figured they'd have to kill me," sh e said at one point. "I had been there too long and .. I knew too much anyway." After about a month in the closet at a Daly City hideout, she said the SLA brigade moved to San Fran- cisco, taking their hostage along in a garbage can. "I was just kind of hun- ched up in the garbage can," Miss Hearst recalled "They dropped it a couple of times when they took it out of the car." The second closet, she said was even smaller than the first — one foot seven inches wide by five feet long. kept blindfolded, allowed ou t only to use the bathroom and for once-a-week baths with a ski-masked SLA "soldier" standing guard. In case Miss Hearst's description was not vivid enough. Bailey decided jurors should see the closets for themselves. With court in recess for Washington's Birthday, the jurors, judge, attorneys and the defendant herself were taken on a strange safari through the rainy streets of San Fran- cisco to the scenes of her captivity. Distraught and stunned by the crush of cameramen and curiosity seekers, Miss Hearst w as rushed in and out of the two buildings. Jurors showed no reaction to the adventure, but Miss Hearst nearly fainted Back in court, the pale slender defendant told of he r release from the closet about two months after he r kidnaping. She was chris- tened "Tania" then, she said, and was told she would help rob a bank. She said DeFreeze, the black ex-convict chosen to. head the ragtag SLA , gave So she went to the bank, sh e said, to save her life, but still feared sh e might be killed by the dreaded Cinque. "I though t even though I would go in and do this, that he was going to kill me anyway inside the bank, and I just wanted to get out of there," she said. On Feb. 19, with the jury absent. Miss Hearst invoked the 5th Amendment 19 times as Bailey tried to bar questioning about her trav- els in the 12 months before sh e was arrested Carter later told her she had to answer th e questions because she waived her 5th Amendment rights by tak- ing the stand in her own defense. On Feb. 23, she defied Carter an d with the jury present invoked the 5th Amendment 42 times when asked about th e "missing year." As she sat on the witness stand, fashionably attiredin a ne w nav y pants suit, a demure white bow at her neck, she projected an image of genteel breeding alien to the likes of "Tania." The fa shionable new wardrobe a n d solemn appearance were part of a concerted defense effort to erase from jurors' memo- ries the laughing Pattywh o had waved a clenched fist of defiance at the world when she was captured Sept. 18, 1975. He r arrest at a San Fran- cisco apartment began a new and more bizarre chap- ter of her saga — life as a defendant and jail inmate. Upon he r arrival at San Mateo County jail, Patty Hearst was asked he r occu- pation. "Urban guerrilla," the heiress replied A t he r trial, the prose- cution seized on this decla- ration as proof of her true allegiance to violence. The defense explained it away as a las t sho w of com- pliance by a terrified victim. The clenched-fist picture was admitted in evidence, and jurors were told to draw their ow n conclusions. Bu t they were reminded by the defense, verbally and visually, that this defendant was "a Hearst," heiress to a legend and to vast wealth. Each day of her trial, jurors could glance at the front row of the court and spot the family — parents, sisters and occasionally cousins — supporting the woman who had once denounced them as "pig Hearsts." During her daughter's most sordid recollections, Catherine Hearst woud wipe away a tear, and Ran- dolph Hearst, his face a portrait in pain, would shield his eyes with one hand. The anguish of Patty's parents was a key element in Bailey's defense plans. He sought jurors with chil dren, hoping they would identify and think, "But for th e grace of God, that might be my daughter." Bailey, facing th e jury for coincidence, but few law- yers have won such help from th calendar. Bailey used it to illustrate the central thesis of his case — "But for the kidnap- ing of Patty Hearst, there would have been no bank robbery including Patty Hearst, and she would not be here today." Before they were empa- neled, the jurors ha d fol- lowed news coverage avidly and knew not only of the bank robbery but also of Miss Hearst's participation in another crime — a hoot- out at a Los Angeles sport- ing goods store. With Miss Hearst still facing trial in that incident. Bailey structured a defense which would, in effect give an answer to both cases. He hoped that the Los Angeles charges would be eradi- cated by an acquittal in San Francisco. Browning, in his prose- cution case, used the Los Angeles escapades as evi- dence of the defendant's lawless inclinations. He showed that sh e waited in a van while fellow fugitives William and Emily Harris went shoplifting, fired a submachine gun to provide them with cover and made a getaway with them, hijacking a car in the process. Ironically, Miss Hearst adm itted all of it. Her defense, again, was simple but unprecedented: she was a victim, brainwashed and coerced, so terrorized by the Harrises that she acted as a robot manipulated by fear. Afterwards, she said, "I just couldn't believe that I'd done what I did" She portrayed the Har- rises as guardians of the SLA credo wh o abused her and insisted sh e continue allegiance even after six of their comrades died in a fiery Los Angeles Shootout. Th e Harrises, sh e said, told he r "that I was to really struggle with them to sure that the people who had died had not died in vain." Jurors, wh o were seques- tered throughout the trial, were unaware that the Har- rises publicly contradicted Miss Hearst's account and offered alternate explana- tions of her actions. There were others wh o were implicated by th e heiress during he r witness stand confessions. Sh e washed her hands of any loyalty to helpers in her undeground flight and seemed to hold all of them responsible for her suffering. Some, like snorts activist Jack Scott, his wife, par- ents and friends, were threatened with prosecution on the basis of her words. They said she was willing to save her own skin at the expense of others. Th e survivors who shared Miss Hearst's fugitive months did not testify. Most said they feared self- incrimination. Bu t the ghostly images of Miss Hearst's dead captors pervaded the trial. Their Her relationship with one of them became a crucial issue. Miss Hearst swore that William Wolfe, known as "Cujo," raped her while she was captive in the clos- et. She denied her own taped eulogy which declared Wolfe "the gen- tlest, most beautiful ma n I've ever known." Coaxed by Browning to admit she had affection for Wolfe, sh e displayed he r talent for using th e prose- cutor's questions to her own advantage. Q. Did you in fact have a strong feeling for Cujo. A . In a way, yes. Q. A s a matter of fact, did you love him. A . No ... Q. B ut didn't you say you developed a high regard for him? A. No ... I said I had a strong feeling about him. Q. What type of strong feeling. A. I couldn't stand him. Bu t the key issue was Miss Hearst's mental atti- tude toward the SLA, and in the trial's waning days both sides paraded in experts to tell jurors their discoveries about the workings of Miss Hearst's mind. Three psychiatrists hired by the defense corroborated Miss Hearst's witness stand account of suffering. They portrayed her as a "prison- er of war" who was now suffering from "survivors' syndrome." "She was in constant fear of death," reported Dr. L.J. West. "... Finally, her only hope of survival lay in win- ning acceptance by joining the SLA." He and the other two attributed Miss Hearst's every post-kidnap reaction to fear and terror. T he injection of brainwashing evidence with recollections of Korean and Chinese pris- oner-of-war tortures made this an elaborate defense to a simple charge of bank robbery. Th e government, in an extensive rebuttal case, called its own experts. One o f them, Dr. Joel Fort, por- trayed Miss Hearst as a "true believer" in the SLA and a "queen" of the ter- rorist tribe. T he doctor, wh o inter- viewed th e heiress for some 15 hours, said he believed she was converted to the SLA less than one month after he r kidnaping an d willingly joined other ter- rorist "soldiers" in the bank robbery and in sexual encounters. He said she spoke favor- ably of Wolfe and two other SLA members and Fort felt she had formed "affec- tionate bonds" with them. "She was a queen in the army," Fort said. "She brought them international recognition ... She particu- larly enjoyed the status and recognition this brought her." He was adamant about her voluntary role in the holdup. "She did not per- form th e bank robbery because she was in fear of her life," said Fort. "She did it as a vo luntary mem- ber of the SLA." Thus, jurors were pre- sented with two conflicting portraits of the heiress wh o ha d been an enigma for so long. The judge warned them that psychiatric testi- mony need not be accepted as an absolute guide. Was Patty Hearst a vic- tim or volunteer when sh e joined th e brazen daylight bank robbery? Guilty or innocent? "You and you alone have to make this ultimate deci- sion," Carter told the jurors, "and no psy- chiatrist, no lawyer, no judge or anybody else should invade" that pro- vince."

Verdict Climaxes Courtroom Drama
Described as 'Trial of the Century'
District Deaths
SA N F R A N C I S C O ( A P )— Th e federal bank robberytrial of newspaper heiressPatricia Hearst was one ofthe most widely publicizedcourt proceedings in recenthistory.
Ke y figures in the tr ialwere U.S. Distr ict CourtJ u d g e Ol ive r J. Car ter ,defense lawyer F. Lee Bail-ey and U.S. Atty . James L.Browning, the governmentprosecutor.
The verdict c limaxed acourtroom drama describedby one defense attorney as"the tria l of the century."Th e unquestioned star ofthe drama was Miss Hearstherself, telling at last he ro wn t e r r i f y i n g t a l e ofnearly tw o years in theunderground.
F requent ly tear ful an dgasping for breath , sherecalled in vivid detail hernightmare months of capti-vity locked in a hot stuffycloset where sh e said sh ewa s raped, tortured an dthreatened with execution.
"I was really scared,"she told her jurors, insistingthat these threats of deathmotivated her avowals ofconversion to the terroristS y m b i o n e s e L i b e r a t i o nArmy.
She called her own tape-recorded words of revolu-tion lies and disavowed he rsecret life as "Tania" ofthe underground. The tapeswere forced by her captors,sh e said, and her gun-totingrole in the bank robberywa s a pose to please them.
It was a unique defense.She never denied that sheh a d w a l k e d i n t o t h eHibernia bank one springmorning and helped rob it.N or did she deny it was hervoice which bragged of ther o b b e r y o n a t a p e d"communique."
What she did deny wasthat she did any of it will-ingly . Her defense wascoercion, and she insistedthat sh e believed even asshe cradled her gun in thebank that sh e might be exe-cuted at any moment.
B ut the gov ernment, in itse f f o r t to c o n v i c t M i s sHearst of armed bank rob-
bery, told a different story.A ll but ignoring he r kidnap-i ng . Browning used th eheiress' own words as themost damaging ev idenceagainst her.
On the tape recording sheinsisted was forced. MissHearst's jurors heard herdefrlare, "On Apr i l 15, mycomrades and I expro-priated $10,660.02 from theS u n s e t B r a n c h o f t h eHibernia B ank ... My gunwas loaded and at no timedid any of my comradesin ten t ional ly po in t the i rguns at me."
The prosecution had otherheavy weapons in its are-senal of evidence. Therewere ban k survei l lancefilms which clearly showedMiss Hearst in the guise oft h e b e w i g g e d "Tania,"t r a i n i n g her submach inegun on bank customers.
A nd there were th e wordsof a youth wh o quoted the
fugitive Miss Hearst as con-fessing the bank robbery tohim. "She said she was awilling participant," testi-fied To m Matthews.
But Bailey set out to con-vince jurors they could notbelieve their own eyes andears — that the films couldbe in terp re ted in MissHearst's f a v o r and thetapes w e r e c a r e f u l l ycoerced lies.
Th e tr ial was rocked sev-eral times by outside occur-ences — most notably theterrorist bombing of thefabled Hearst Castle, SanSimeon. Although her jurywas sequestered. M i s sHearst took advantage of aBrowning error and man-aged to tell them from thewitness stand of the bomb-ing and other threats on herlife by the New World Lib-eration Front.
Officials have said theyk n o w l i t t l e a b o u t t h e

O n Saturday, a federa l cour t j uryfound he r gu i l ty o n the bank rob-bery charge .
witness stand.Miss Hearst weepingly
remembered the knock ather door and a dark formasking to use the phone,then the three abductorsrushing in.
"Bitch, you'd better bequiet," she said her chieftormentor shouted as shewas gagged and bl ind-f o l d e d , her hands t iedbehind her back.
She remembered hearingthe screams of her lover,gunshots and more screamsas she was stuffed in thetrunk of a car and takenaway.
"I was struck in the faceand I lost consciousness."sh e recalled tearfully. "Icame to and I was beingdragged down th e stairs ...Somebody grabbed me andthen I was in the trunk of acar."
In her excruciating three-day narrative, Miss Hearst,almost constantly in tears,r e c a l l e d th e n i g h t m a r escenes of her captivity —beginning with her impris-onment in two small closetswhich became her torturechambers.
In those closets, sh e said,she was raped by two SLA"soldiers," William Wolfeand Donald "Cinque" DeF-reeze, and was constantlytormented with threats ofinstant death.
"I figured they'd have tokill me," sh e said at onepoint. "I had been there toolong and .. I knew too muchanyway."
After about a month inthe closet at a Daly Cityhideout, she said the SLAbrigade moved to San Fran-cisco, taking their hostage
along in a garbage can."I was just kind of hun-
ched up in the garbagecan," Miss Hearst recalled"They dropped it a coupleof times when they took itout of the car."
The second closet, shesaid was even smaller thanthe first — one foot seveninches wide by five feetlong. Again, she was keptb l in d fo lded , al lowed ou tonly to use the bathroomand for once-a-week bathswith a ski -masked SLA"soldier" standing guard.
In case Miss Hearst'sdescription was not vivide n o u g h . Bai ley dec idedjurors should see the closetsfor themselves. With courtin recess for Washington'sBirthday, the jurors, judge,attorneys and the defendantherself were taken on astrange safari through therainy streets of San Fran-cisco to the scenes of hercaptivity.
Distraught and stunnedby the crush of cameramenand curiosity seekers, MissHearst w as rushed in andout of the two buildings.Jurors showed no reactionto the adventure, but MissHearst nearly fainted
Back in court, the paleslender defendant told ofhe r release from the closetabout two months after he rkidnaping. She was chris-tened "Tania" then , shesaid, and was told shewould help rob a bank.
She said DeFreeze, theblack ex-convict chosen to.head the ragtag SLA , gaveher an ultimatum: ".. . Hesaid, f ight or die, that Iwould either have to staywith them and join up withthem, or I'd be killed andthat I better start thinkingabout it."
So she went to the bank,sh e said, to save her life,but still feared sh e mightbe killed by the dreadedCinque.
"I though t even though Iwould go in and do this,that he was going to kill mean yway inside the bank,and I just wanted to get outo f there," she said.
On Feb. 19, with the juryabsent. Miss Hearst invokedthe 5th A m e n d m e n t 19times as Bailey tr ied to barquestioning about her trav-els in the 12 months beforesh e was arrested Carterlater told her she had toa n s w e r th e q u e s t i o n sbecause she waived her 5thAmendment rights by tak-ing the stand in her owndefense.
On Feb. 23, she defiedCarter an d with the jurypresent invoked the 5thAmen dmen t 42 times whenasked about th e "missingyear."
As she sat on the witnessstand, fashionably attired in
a
ne w nav y pants suit, ademure white bow at herneck, she pro j ec ted animage of genteel breedinga l i e n t o t h e l i k e s of"Tania."
T h e f a s h i o n a b l e n e ww a r d r o b e a n d s o l e m nappearance were part of aconcerted defense effort toerase f rom jurors' memo-ries the laughing Pattywh ohad waved a clenched fistof def iance at the worldw h e n she was capturedSept. 18, 1975.
He r arrest at a San Fran-cisco apartment began anew and more bizarre chap-ter of her saga — life as a
defendant and jail inmate.Upon he r arrival at San
Mateo County jail, PattyHearst was asked he r occu-pation. "Urban guerrilla,"the heiress replied
A t he r trial, the prose-cution seized on this decla-ration as proof of her trueallegiance to violence. Thedefense explained it awayas a las t sho w of com-p l i a n c e b y a t e r r i f i e dvictim.
The clenched-fist picturewas admitted in evidence,and jurors were told todraw their ow n conclusions.Bu t they were reminded bythe defense, verbally andvisually, that this defendantwas "a Hearst," heiress toa legend and to vast wealth.
Each day of her trial,jurors could glance at thefront row of the court andspot the family — parents,sisters and occasionallycousins — supporting thew o m a n w h o h a d o n c edenounced them as "pigHearsts."
Dur ing her daugh ter ' smost sordid recollections,C a t h e r i n e H e a r s t woudwipe away a tear, and Ran-dolph Hearst, his face apor t r a i t in p a i n , wouldshield his eyes with onehand.
The anguish of Patty'sparents was a key elementin Bailey's defense plans.He sought jurors with chil-dren, hoping they wouldidentify and think, "But forth e grace of God, thatmight be my daughter."
Bailey, facing th e jury forthe first time with his open-ing argument , no ted animportant fact — the pan-elists had been swom onthe second anniversary ofMiss Hearst's brutal kid-naping. I t was perhaps
coincidence, but few law-yers have won such helpfrom th e calendar.
Bailey used it to illustratethe central thesis of hiscase — "But for the kidnap-ing of Patty Hearst, therewould have been no bankrobbery inc luding Pat tyHearst, and she would notbe here today."
Before they were empa-neled, the jurors ha d fol-lowed news coverage avidlyand knew not only of thebank robbery but also ofMiss Hearst's participationin another crime — a shoot-out at a Los Angeles sport-ing goods store.
With Miss Hearst stillfacing t r ia l in tha t incident.Bailey structured a defensewhich would, in effect give
an answer to both cases. Hehoped that the Los Angelescharges would be eradi-cated by an acquittal in SanFrancisco.
Browning, in his prose-cution case, used the LosAngeles escapades as evi-dence of the defendant'slawless inc l inat ions . Heshowed that sh e waited in avan whi le fellow fugitivesWilliam and Emily Harriswent shoplift ing, fired asubmachine gun to providethem with cover and madea g e t a w a y w i t h t h e m ,h i j a c k i n g a car in theprocess.
Ironically, Miss Hearstadm itted all of it. Herdefense, again, was simplebut unprecedented: she wasa victim, brainwashed andcoerced, so terrorized bythe Harrises that she actedas a robot manipulated byfear.
Afterwards, she said, "I
just couldn't believe that I'ddone w h a t I did"
She portrayed the Har-rises as guardians of theSLA credo wh o abused herand insisted sh e continueallegiance even after six oftheir comrades died in afiery Los Angeles Shootout.Th e Harrises, sh e said, toldhe r "that I was to reallys t r u g g l e w i t h t h e m t orebuild the SLA and makesure that the people whohad died had not died invain."
Jurors, wh o were seques-tered throughout the tr ial,were unaware that the Har-rises publicly contradictedMiss Hearst's account andoffered alternate explana-tions of her actions.
There were others wh owere impl ica ted by th eheiress during he r witnesss t a n d c o n f e s s i o n s . Sh ewashed her hands of anyloyalty to helpers in heru n d e g r o u n d f l i g h t a n dseemed to hold all of themresponsible for hersuffering.
Some, like snorts activistJack Scott, his wife, par-en ts and f r iends , werethreatened with prosecutionon the basis of her words.They said she was willingto save her own skin at theexpense of others.
Th e survivors who sharedM i s s Hearst's f u g i t i v emonths did not testify. Mosts a i d t h e y f e a r e d s e l f -incrimination.
Bu t the ghostly images ofMiss Hearst's dead captorspervaded the tr ial. Theirfaces were seen in the eeriebank f i l ms; their voiceswere heard on the SLAtapes, an d their violentdeaths were re-enacted invideotape footage of theflaming Shootout.
Her relationship with oneof them became a crucialissue. Miss Hearst sworethat W il l iam Wolfe, knownas "Cujo," raped her whileshe was capt ive in the clos-et. She denied her ownt a p e d e u l o g y w h i c hdeclared Wolfe "the gen-tlest, most beauti ful ma nI've ever known."
Coaxed by Browning toadmit she had affection forWolfe, sh e displayed he rtalent for using th e prose-cutor 's questions to her ownadvantage .
Q. Did you in fact have astrong feel ing for Cujo.
A . In a way, yes.Q. A s a matter of fact,
did you love him.A . No ...Q. B ut didn' t you say you
developed a high regard forhim?
A. No . . . I said I had astrong feeling about him.
Q. W h a t type of strongfeeling.
A. I couldn' t stand him.Bu t the key issue was
Miss Hearst's mental atti-tude toward the SLA, and inthe trial's waning days bothsides paraded in experts totell jurors their discoveriesabout the workings of MissHearst's mind.
Three psychiatrists hiredby the defense corroboratedMiss Hearst's witness standaccount of suffering. Theyportrayed her as a "prison-er of war" who was nowsuffering f rom "survivors'syndrome."
"She was in constant fearof death," reported Dr. L.J.West. "... Finally, her onlyhope of survival lay in win-ning acceptance by joiningthe SLA."
He and the other twoat t r ibuted Miss Hearst'severy post-kidnap reactionto fear and terror. T heinjection of brainwashingevidence with recollectionsof Korean and Chinese pris-oner-of-war tortures made
this an elaborate defense toa simple charge of bankrobbery.
Th e government , in ane x t e n s i v e r e b u t t a l case,called its own experts. Oneo f t h e m , Dr. Joel Fort, por-trayed Miss Hearst as a"true believer" in the SLAand a "queen" of the ter-rorist tribe.
T he doc tor , wh o inter-viewed th e heiress for some15 hours, said he believedshe was converted to theSLA less than one monthaf ter he r kidnaping an dwillingly joined other ter-ro r i s t "soldiers" in thebank robbery and in sexualencounters.
He said she spoke favor-ably of Wolfe and two otherSLA members and Fort feltshe had fo rmed "affec -tionate bonds" with them.
"She was a queen in thearmy," Fort said. "Shebro ught them internationalrecognition ... She particu-larly enjoyed the status andrecogni t ion th i s brough ther."
He was adamant abouther voluntary role in theholdup. "She did not per-f o r m th e bank robberybecause she was in fear ofher life," said Fort. "Shedid it as a vo luntary mem-ber of the SLA."
Thus, jurors were pre-sented with two conflictingportraits of the heiress wh oha d been an enigma for solong. The j udge warnedthem that psychiatr ic testi-mony need not be acceptedas an absolute guide.
Was Patty Hearst a vic-tim or volunteer when sh ejoined th e brazen daylightbank robbery? Guil ty orinnocent?
"You and you alone haveto m a k e this ultimate deci-sion," C a r t e r t o l d t h ej u r o r s , " a n d no p s y -c h i a t r i s t , no l awyer , noj u d g e o r a n y b o d y elses h o u l d invade" tha t p ro-vince."
