Not guilty. I'd hit it.

What do you guys think? Was she a willing terrorist or a traumatized teenager with a Stockholm syndrome?
I don't know too much about that case and was leaning toward the first, but today I read a description:
Meanwhile, the SLA was indoctrinating Hearst and raping her repeatedly. Then the SLA offered her a choice: to join them, or be released.
Let me ask you a question: in the shoes of 19-year-old Patty Hearst, how much would you trust the assurances of Donald DeFreeze and the SLA? That’s exactly how much Hearst trusted them when they said they’d let her go. So she said of course she’d join them. Hearst famously robbed a bank with the SLA and went on the run with them. The account I’ve given of her decision is hers, which I believe.
Absolutely GUILTY I lived through this entire story Patty Hearst was a spoiled out of control brainwashed terrorist ALL of the resources spent looking for this bitch was out of control!! HUGE STAIN put on her ELITE family name AND I believe that is exactly what she wanted!!
no pic, can’t render verdict.
Not guilty. I'd hit it.
> She was a normal girl captured by terrorists. Her survival instinct kicked in. <
That about covers it.
I just wish that every last terrorist had met Old Sparky. That would have been a fitting end to the story.
She was in on it. Typical white girl attention-seeking behavior.
On May 4, 1974, thirteen days before the younger Wolfe's death with DeFreeze and others in a shootout and fire, Headley and freelance writer Donald Freed held a press conference in San Francisco. They presented 400 pages of documentation of their findings, some of which included evidence that, a year before the kidnapping, Patty Hearst had visited DeFreeze in prison.That was Donald DeFreeze, AKA Cinque Mtume, "General Field Marshal Cinque", of the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army). He was the guy who robbed the bank with Patty Hearst. They were bother armed. Leftists are going to do Leftist things.
Are you referring to the people Hurst was robbed and extorted?
That's a very solid argument toward guilty.
It is a sad, horrible story.
As Walter Sobchak famously said, "the B___h kidnapped herself" and of course the Dude agreed.
net worth $50million and definately not guilty
Guilty. Patty Hearst was convicted because she participated in an armed robbery with the SLA and was captured on camera doing so. The, when she testified at trial, on cross-examination, the prosecutor forced her to admit that the piece of jewelry she was still wearing had been given her by her SLA lover. Even if converted to the SLA through rape and an abusive captivity, the conversion took and persisted even after she was free.
I hope you never have to experience what she went through., because it might make you see that everything it not as it seems. Trauma can adversely affect someone’s life beyond what you might believe.
> a year before the kidnapping, Patty Hearst had visited DeFreeze in prison <
If that’s true - and is backed up by an actual prison log that can be found online - then Hearst is guilty as hell. And she can go to hell.
But if there’s no log, then it’s just a case of some guy told some other guy. And Hearst is a victim.
Regardless, every terrorist who was involved here should have shaken hands with Old Sparky, as I mentioned earlier.
a year before the kidnapping, Patty Hearst had visited DeFreeze in prison
She was a rich girl who knew it didn’t matter anyway. She could rely on the old man’s money.
I was a child at that time, but I remember the grownups talking about this case when it happened. They all believed she was guilty.
If you repeatedly beat your child it is not your fault and you are the "real victim" so why would becoming a terrorist be your fault?
Let's not hold anyone accountable for anything.
Everyone is a victim.
Except for her of course.
Screw her.
It is the murderous b*tch we should all be feeling sympathy for.
Excuse my disinclination to join you in your adoration of violent thugs.
Your mom was right.
I don't....That was 50 f'n years ago and I couldn't have cared less back then.......
Whassup, you lonely tonight and want some company?
