Woman lawyer denied as cocounsel in Harris case
Judge Brandler refused to appoint Ruth Astle as counsel for Mrs. Emily Harris and her husband William Harris in the Symbionese Liberation Army robbery case, citing lack of criminal defense experience. Astle, 28, will not be paid from public funds but may remain without pay. Harris, unable to pay, had urged a female counsel to offer feminists view. Leonard Weinglass remains lead attorney, with Ed Rucker assisting. Patricia Hearst awaits trial on a separate bank robbery charge.
