Doctor Patty Hearst the SLA Queen of Media Fame
Criminologist Dr. Joel Fort testified Hearst joined the Symbionese Liberation Army within a month of abduction and freely helped in the April 15 1974 bank robbery. He described Hearst as seeking a meaningful, exciting lifestyle, bored with her life and influenced by SLA’s media impact. He rejected coercive persuasion and said she acted as a willing member, not out of fear.

Hearst Transforms Appearance in Bank Robbery Trial
Patricia Hearst, 22, whose detention last year followed a September FBI capture, has undergone a striking physical change. Once stark and harsh with dark hair and gaunt features, she now presents a softer reddish-brown hairstyle and polished wardrobe in court, often drawing attention from spectators. Her defiant salute is explained as influenced by Symbionese Liberation Army companions. A defense psychiatrist notes the gesture as a reflex from indoctrination under fear.
