Hearst tests sealed psychiatric exams in bank raid case
Patricia Hearst faces sealed psychiatric examinations sent to a federal judge. U.S. Attorney Browning asked to share the reports with counsel and possibly their agents, but Judge Carter left the existing seal in place. The case involves Hearst's 1974 kidnapping by the Symbionese Liberation Army and a bank robbery in which her father Michael Tobin later led Hibernia Bank. Sheriff McDonald said jail security was tightened after a visitor taped Hearst's cell.
