Hearst says abuse left her brainwashed and insane
Patty Hearst contends captors terrorized her to the point of insanity and loss of control over criminal acts over the past eighteen months. An affidavit cited torture and fear of death, while the defense sought bail for psychiatric evaluation as she faces 22 felony counts including kidnapping and bank robbery. The judge delayed bail, ordering immediate psychiatric exams, and noted she remains a flight risk.

Barre Vermont political shakeup ended Margaret Lucenti long service on the Washington County Democratic Committee when four local labor leaders joined the panel. With no county seat, she is unlikely to keep her state vice chair role as party reorganizes this fall. Lucenti, on the committee since 1968 and vice chair since 1972, also sought party chairman this year. She cited labor leaders’ discontent with her McGovern support in 1972 amid governor backers.
