Priest cites Sara Jane Moore rage as motive in Ford attempt
In San Francisco a priest who counseled Sara Jane Moore describes a rage within her. Moore seeks to plead guilty to the Sept. 22 attempt on President Ford, while U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti weighs mental competence and the sanity required for a guilty plea. Witness testimony from police and federal agents may influence Conti's ruling. Moore, 45, a former FBI informer, says she is at peace with herself and not insane, though she expresses regret over James Hewitt’s insanity defense. The case also notes Moore's concern for how people view her and the effect on her 9-year-old son in foster care.
