I read Patty Hearst’s biography. She pointed out that the SLA ring leaders, Bill and Emily Harris, were sentenced to less time than Patty Hearst was. Bill and Emily Harris had public defenders. Patty Hearst’s father paid F Lee Bailey $1 million. Also, Patty Hearst wrote that F. Lee Bailey was drunk in the courtroom.
oh it was common knowledge that Flee was drunk most of the time...in or out of court.....Unfortunately for patty her father was enamored of Flee’s inflated reputation.
“...She pointed out that the SLA ring leaders, Bill and Emily Harris, were sentenced to less time than Patty Hearst...”
Yes, and not to mention Bill and Bernadine skating on so many crimes. The best poetic justice for the Weathermen faction was their three dead in the Greenwich Village bomb blast.
Patty was: Kidnapped, held in a closet, raped and abused horribly, and only after all that did she join up with the SLA scum.
