Patricia Hearst was a California heiress who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) in 1974. A few months later, Hearst announced she had joined the SLA and taken on the pseudonym “Tania.” On April 15, 1974, she helped rob a Hibernia Bank branch in San Francisco. She was arrested in 1975 and the main argument of her defense was that she was brainwashed by her kidnappers.
