Don't forget, Patty Hearst was convicted and served time.

She was also pardoned by our illustrious 41st president.

Some parallels...tons of differences.

Most people then believed that Patty was kidnapped by the SLA and was locked, tied up in a closet for weeks. Bill and Emily Harris who were the few remaining members after the shootout...confessed to the kidnapping and served/are still serving? time. She may or may not have become involved with the group's activities voluntarily during the months that followed.

This young man appears to have willing gone off on his own and became involved in a group of fighters...for the thrill perhaps? It does not appear that in his first interview with FOX that he even intimated that he was there under any duress.

Too bad that F. Lee Bailey lost his license to practice law. He lost Patty's case big time...(her sentence was later commuted by Carter, and pardoned by Clinton). Bailey would surely have a hard time with this case.
