Arraignment Turns Violent in Hearst Kidnapping Case
In Oakland Alameda County court a brawl erupted as William and Emily Harris refused to sit for the arraignment on Patricia Hearst kidnapping charges. Deputies subdued the couple after William Harris denounced Judge Alan Lindsay as a dying breed. The pair were wrestled to the floor, one slammed into a wall, and both were handcuffed. Arraignment proceeded with pleas delayed to December 198? and a trial date set for May 2, subject to change.
