Harris spree defense labels acts a youth escapade
Defense attorney Leonard Weinglass argued the Harrises acts during the 1974 crime spree were a youthful escapade tied to the Symbionese Liberation Army and Patty Hearst. The trial focused on shell casings and bullet fragments found at Mel's Sporting Goods and testimony from witnesses who retrieved them. The Harrises and Hearst face 11 counts of kidnapping robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
