Hearst trial gets new judge in Los Angeles case
A new judge, William Rizzi, was assigned to preside over Patricia Hearst's trial on 11 state charges. Rizzi previously sentenced DeFreeze to Soledad prison after an assault and purse theft, and he noted DeFreeze stood out for defending himself and singing hymns in court. Goertzen indicated Hearst and the Harrises may be tried separately as federal psychiatrists assess Hearst's San Francisco bank robbery conviction.
