Patty Hearst's kidnapping led directly to her brainwashing. Her participation in the subsequent bank robbery was due only to the sequence of events that began with her kidnapping.
Patty Hearst was clearly put under incredible mental duress during her false imprisonment. I've always been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt regarding this incident. Anything else was a miscarriage of justice, IMHO...
