Hearst conviction upheld by 9th Circuit in bank robbery case
Patricia Hearst expresses disappointment as the Ninth Circuit upholds her 1974 Hibernia Bank robbery conviction in San Francisco. The panel says her trial was fair, its decision noting her SLA kidnapping defense and the balance between evidence and jury prejudice. Hearst plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. U.S. Attorney Browning declines immediate confinement orders. Randolph Hearst calls the ruling with mixed views.

Congress Moves Toward Overhaul of Federal Criminal Code
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a broad criminal code package after years of work, aiming to rewrite about 2,000 federal laws. The bill would increase protections for rape victims and reporters, curb gag orders, reduce penalties for small marijuana possession, and introduce mandatory minimums for hard drug trafficking while creating a sentencing commission to reduce disparities. Opponents warned of dangerous relaxations and potential for uneven terms, leaving House action uncertain and a full Senate vote unlikely before next year.
