Summary

More than a year and a half after Patty Hearst was kidnapped, her legal saga plays out in court and in the media. In court, she portrays herself as an innocent victim who was forced to participate in criminal activities. In early media encounters, she sounds like she genuinely joined the revolutionary group and was a willing participant in all its illegal exploits. No one knows the truth, and the debate continues to this day.
