Patricia Hearst leaves the
federal courthouse Monday, at
end of the day’s proceedings in
her trail on charge of bank
robbery. Her defense rested its
case, and the judge refused her
lawyer’s request to dismiss the
charges against her. Defense
attorney Albert Johnson made
the motion to dismiss the
charges on grounds the
government had dragged its
feet in supplying photographs
which he said showed Miss
Hearst was being threatened by
another robber during the
holdup. (UPI)

defense
rests
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Attorney F. Lee Bailey, after
losing his second legal battle of
the day, turned to the judge at
Patricia Hearst’s bank robbery
trial and announced: “Your
honor, the defense rests.”
Bailey ended his 11-day
presentation after U.S. District
Court Judge Oliver J. Carter
rejected a defense motion for
dismissal of all charges on
grounds the government had
withheld evidence tending to
show Miss Hearst is innocent.
The judge earlier refused to
let the jury hear testimony
from an expert on “speech
patterns,” who said the heiress’
revolutionary statements on
Symbionese Liberation Army
tape recordings were written by
members of the kidnap gang.
Twelve witnesses were called
by the defense, with the
highlight being the 22-year-old
defendant, herself, spending a
week on the stand telling of
being held in a closet, raped
and threatened until she joined
her kidnapers in the robbery to
avoid being killed.
Three psychiatrists who have
studied the brainwashing of
prisoners of war backed up her
story, saying her treatment
caused a “traumatic neurosis”
which made her want to please
her captors.
After the defense rested,
Carter recessed the trial until
today, when the prosecution
begins its rebuttal testimony.
The case could go to the jury
late this week, but it is more
likely to wind up early next
week.
The defense wrapped up its
case by charging the prosecu
tion had withheld photographs
made by cameras in San
Francisco’s Hibernia Bank,
which showed guns pointed at
Miss Hearst during the April
15,1974, holdup.
FBI photographic expert Ver
non Kipping, called as the final
defense witness, testified there
was no attempt to deliberately
“trim” anything in the original
5-by-7 inch stills made from the
413 frames of movie film taken
by bank surveillance cameras.
But he acknowledged the
larger 8-by-10 inch photos
showed Miss Hall pointing a
rifle in the direction of Miss
Hearst while the smaller
pictures left out the SLA
member.
Dr. Margaret Singer of the
University of California at
Berkeley took the stand with
the jury out of the courtroom to
explain her “speech pattern”
studies of tapes and writings by
Miss Hearst during her 19
months in captivity.
She said her study showed
Miss Hearst used her own
words in just five of 25 sections
of SLA tape recordings. The
ones, in which she stridently
proclaimed revolutionary slo
gans and castigated her pa
rents, were written for her by
members of the SLA, said Dr.
Singer.
Carter ruled there was no
precedent for testimony by an
expert on speech patterns and
that the trial, already in its
sixth week, would be length
ened by several days if she
took the stand with the jury,
present.
