Instead, she got involved with criminals. And 4 when she went on trial for taking part in a 1974 San Francisco bank robbery, Patty Hearst’s 5 attempts to explain it away were ignored by prosecutors and rejected by the jury: she was 6 convicted and served nearly two years in jail. 7 Twenty-five years later, Hearst has changed from leftist wanna-be to earnest victim. Now 8 47 and the mother of two daughters, Hearst has established a fairly successful acting career and 9 last year won a full pardon from Bill Clinton. Soon her rehabilitation will be complete–when 10 she appears in a California courtroom to testify against four of her old friends from the 11 Symbionese Liberation Army who will be on trial for murder, in a case that will depend largely 12 on her truthfulness. 13 The accused are Emily Harris, William Harris, Sara Jane Olson and Michael Bortin, all of 14 whom supposedly took part in a 1975 bank holdup in Carmichael, Calif., in which a customer, 15 Myrna Opsahl, was shot and killed. All four are expected to plead not guilty. Because the 16 Carmichael robbers wore ski masks, the prosecution will depend on Hearst to prove that the 17 accused were there. Hearst, who had become an SLA member calling herself “Tania”, has 18 admitted taking part in the robbery, although she said she was only driving a getaway car. In 19 her version, Emily, Olson and Bortin were inside the bank and William was stationed outside 20 with another SLA member, Steven Soliah. Hearst says Emily directed the stickup and that 21 Emily, carrying a shot-gun later said she shot Opsahl by accident. 22 The question now is whether Hearst, with her admitted involvement in the SLA’s 23 campaign of armed violence, will be a credible witness. The Carmichael case has been 24 gathering dust for 20 years precisely because prosecutors thought her testimony was unreliable. 25 In her book and at her trial in 1976, Hearst said she was forced to become an SLA member 26 because she was beaten and raped while imprisoned for months in a closet in an SLA safe 27 house. Prosecutors didn’t buy it, and neither did the jury that convicted her. James L. 28 Browning, the former federal prosecutor who tried Hearst, says, “It was pretty plain from the 29 evidence that she did everything without being forced. That’s the way I feel about it, and 30 probably her testimony [in the new case] is going to be somewhat unreliable.” 31 William Harris, now in jail, said that Hearst was never hurt physically or mentally, raped or 32 forced. Thinking back, Harris said he thought Hearst’s supporting the SLA cause was a good 33 example of the Stockholm syndrome, in which hostages feel that they can understand and share 34 the feelings of their captors. “We’re accused of brainwashing her,” Harris said. “That’s 35 ridiculous–we didn’t know how to do that.” He said gang members loved Hearst’s change and 36 no one understood what had caused the change in the relationship between the prisoner and her 37 captors. “It was beyond our control and hers,” he said. “We were all swept up in the thing.” 38 Now they hate each other. In a recent interview on CNN, Hearst compared the SLA 39 members to Timothy Mc Veigh and Charles Manson and said they were conducting “their own 40 little jihad” against the United States. Stuart Hanlon, the San Francisco attorney who is 41 representing Emily Harris, says Hearst’s performance was a dishonest attempt to portray herself 42 as a victim. “She has continually used her money, her position, to try to rewrite history,” 43 Hanlon said. “She took no responsibility for anything she ever did.” 44 Hearst’s attorney did not respond to NEWSWEEK’s request for comment. But Michael 45 Latin, the assistant district attorney who prosecuted Olson in a separate case, says he thinks 46 Hearst will be very effective on the stand. For one thing, her credibility problems have 47 diminished over the years–and in this case, unlike her own trial, she does not need to persuade 48 the jurors she is innocent. “She knows the truth,” Latin says. “That is really all that is required.” 49 Because California had no death penalty when the crime was committed, the accused will not 50 face execution if convicted. But they could spend the rest of their lives in prison if the jury 51 believes the woman they call Tania. Adapted from: NEWSWEEK February 4, 2002 Notes: (Line 5) prosecutor – lawyer who leads a case against an accused in a court of law.

  • 182 PATTY PREVAILS Jeffrey Toobin. American Heiress: the Wild
    NOTRE DAME REVIEW PATTY PREVAILS Jeffrey Toobin. American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst. Doubleday, 2016. Paperback, Anchor, 2017. William O’Rourke There has been a recent spate of books about radicals of the 1970s: Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough, a compendium of most of the violent revolutionary groups active during the period, came out in 2015 and Betty Medsger’s The Burglary, focusing on the FBI and the largely Catholic band of the East Coast Conspiracy to Save Lives that busted into an FBI office and made off with its files, appeared in 2014. My own The Harrisburg 7 and the New Catholic Left returned to print in 2012 with a new, long Afterword, forty pages in manuscript covering forty years, bringing up to date the par- ticipants and their outcomes. Doubtless, these volumes serve as a soothing counterpoint to our own continuing conflicts: Surely, this too will pass. Now there is Jeffrey Toobin’s book about Patty Hearst, American Heir- ess, her notorious kidnapping in 1974, which brings up a number of issues about non-academic works of history, one being whether or not the author needs to have been on the scene when dealing with the not-so-distant past. It brings to mind some version of Orwell’s 1944 remark about history being written by the winners. Or, in the cases mentioned, some species of journalist, adept at narrative, wanting to turn history into story, making the product, as some of the blurbs say, a book that can’t be put down.

  • MXGM Statement on the Passing of Our Comrade Geronimo Ji Jaga
    NAPO/ MXGM statement on the passing of our Comrade Geronimo ji Jaga The New Afrikan Peoples Organization and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement salute the life of our brother and comrade Geronimo ji Jaga. The life of Geronimo, or “G” as he was affectionately known, represents a freedom fighter that sacrificed and loved Afrikan people and humanity. Geronimo was given the name Elmer Gerard Pratt at birth on September 13, 1947, in Morgan City, Louisiana. He was born into a loving family that would nurture him and provide support throughout his life. He grew up in a community where he and other youth had to fight white supremacists from the “other side of the tracks.” Geronimo said he was encouraged to go into the US military by his community Elders, who had roots in Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Deacons for Defense. His objective was to learn military skills to be utilized for the defense of our community and our people. “G” was a decorated soldier in the wrong army, earning two Bronze Stars, a Silver Star and two Purple Hearts. He distinguished himself as a Sergeant and Ranger in the 82nd Airborne of the US Army. His Elders would redeploy him, after returning from two Vietnam combat tours, to the greater Los Angeles area. There he would work with Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter, the principal organizer of the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP). Carter and Geronimo both became students at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). They participated in the Black student movement and the formation of the Black Studies department at UCLA.
