Remember, Patty Hearst also took part in an armed bank robbery while supposedly kidnapped by the SLA, which I believe led her to serve some time in prison, I think she was later pardoned by Jimmy Carter.
A very bizarre story that captivated the nation. The shootout in LA was proof the SLA was not messing around. Patty Hearst went to prison because America was not going to let her get away with what her father stood for. She was scared to death and was afflicted with the Stockholm Syndrome. Gerald Ford did the right thing pardoning her.
