...Bailey may be the matinee idol of Patty Hearst's trial, outthinking, outtalking and very often outclassing U.S. Attorney James L. Browning Jr. But for all his forensic skills, the famed defense attorney has consistently lost important legal disputes to the plodding prosecutor. Last week Bailey once again suffered more defeats than he scored victories as Patty's case moved into its final stages...
Surprise Witness. With that, Bailey rested the defense of Patty Hearst, and Browning returned to the attack in his rebuttal. The prosecutor introduced a surprise witness: Zigurd Berzins, 32, an electronics technician and operator of the "Tweeter's n Woofer" stereo shop .in San Francisco. Berzins said that he had been entering the Hibernia Bank on the morning of April 15, 1974, when he heard a "metallic" noise behind him. Turning, he saw a woman, armed with an M-l carbine, kneeling on the pavement to pick up two ammunition clips and one or two cartridges. Seconds later, said...
...call Dr. Harry Kozol, a Massachusetts psychiatrist, to back up its claims that Patty was not a terrified captive of the S.L.A. Some time late this week, the seven women and five men in the jury are expected to get the case and settle down to decide whether Patty Hearst was a prisoner of the S.L.A. on the morning of the robbery-or is lying today...

They were humiliated, stripped naked, confined in narrow spaces, forced to write life histories that often revealed disastrous childhoods. Most of the P.O.W.s who broke down were very young, Pasley says, and poorly educated-a characteristic, she believes, that Patty shares with them despite her finishing-school background. One P.O.W., Pasley recalls, was convinced by his captors that...
...flyers, their captors kept moving them from cell to cell, from prison to prison-a pattern that suggests the S.L.A., perpetually on the move. For nine months the P.O.W.s were not allowed to bathe. In one session, Kiba was asked the same question for 18 hours straight. What Patty Hearst went through, he says disdainfully, was only "a miniature, a sample." And any physical abuse she may have suffered at the hands of the S.L.A. might well have toughened her resistance rather than weakened it, says Kiba. "If you're mistreated," he contends, "you aren't going...
