Carter gave each of the four a copy of the affidavit plus a transcript of the conversation between Patty and Trish Tobin, which had been taped by jail authorities. The Hearsts' lawyers and the prosecutors clashed bitterly over the propriety of taping and releasing the private conversation. Attorney Terence Hallinan, one of Patty's lawyers, condemned the practice as "unethical," and declared: "I think that the U.S. Attorney is jeopardizing his whole case by the tricks he's using...

Even if argued...
Soliah was arrested soon after Patty was caught and is now being held at the same jail on charges of harboring fugitives. Speaking of Soliah, Patty told Trish Tobin in the taped conversation last week: "I lived with him." And she added, "I finally got to see him up in the jail. They let me kiss...
