Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

Prison Life For Patty Hearst

Hearst did not do well in prison. She would suffer from a collapsed lung and then a string of other medical conditions during her time inside. She was meant to testify against the Harris’ but ill health prevented her from doing so. She was arraigned for other crimes but with more sympathetic judges her jail time was not increased and the California Attorney General Evelle J. Younger spoke out on her behalf. He noted that in this instance that if there was a double standard for rich people it was holding Patty Hearst to a higher level of responsibility than anyone rightly should have been.
