"Does it sound wrong?" Yes. It is very hard, maybe impossible, to completely separate the circumstances which lead to crime from the criminal behavior itself. I am pretty sure that Patty was truly captured and taken against her will. But then, she fell in love with the leader of the group, and bought into the "cause" hook line and sinker. The rest of it is about serious criminal behavior and a family with enough bucks to get her off. My basic view of criminal behavior is that we should do what needs to be done to remove the threat of continued criminal behavior. I haven't followed the case since, but it doesn't seem that Patty ever posed a criminal threat after that episode. The other problem people have is that, if you or I were in similar circumstances we'd still be rotting in prison.
