Hearst Trial Details Tie to Suspected Case Fix Attempt
Bailey denied claims of an attempt to fix the case. Hearst admitted Tuesday he did not see the incident as an effort to fix the outcome. Bailey called Patricia Tobin, Hearst’s longtime friend, who described Hearst as not the same person since her Sept. 18 capture. Tobin testified about Hearst’s appearance and demeanor when met at the San Mateo county jail on Sept. 20. A recorded conversation was admitted as evidence. Hearst says the tape shows anger at arrest and self identification as a revolutionary feminist. Tobin recalled Hearst as dazed, speaking slowly, lacking spontaneity or vitality.

Estimates show TIF will cover about half of year one debt service, with hotel taxes deferred. Mayor Canney and Kopel discuss setting up the district by July 1 to avoid further delays.
