Hearst Off Stand in Bank Robbery Trial
Patricia Hearst ends testimony on the witness stand after invoking the 5th Amendment 42 times in a six day defense, as defense attorney F Lee Bailey shifts to psychiatric opinions about her state of mind and possible fear during the year she was on the run. Dr L J West testified she showed signs of profound fear after her Sept 18 capture and Bailey plans further questioning of him. The prosecution says Hearst helped plan robberies while with the SLA, while Bailey argues she was a hostage acting under threat to her life and that questioning the blank year could trigger further indictments.
