Patricia Hearst
seeks clemency
SAN FRANCISCO — Jailed
heiress Patricia Hearst has sent a
signed formal petition seeking cle
mency to President Carter, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported today.
Hearst’s action followed a re
quest by Rep. Leo Ryan, D-Calif.,
and47other House members Friday
that Miss Hearst’s sentence he sub
stituted for time already served and
that she he released from prison.
The Chronicle said Miss Hearst’s
clemency petition should he deli
vered to the Justice Department’s
pardon attorney, John Stanish,
Monday morning by Sen. S.L
Hayakawa, R-Calif., and Ryan, who
represents the district where the
Hearst family lives.
The pardon attorney’s office is the
First step in any clemency action be-
Ibre reaching Carter. The newspa
per noted Carter has granted only
three clemency requests out of
400,500 considered in the 21 months
he has been in office.
The congressional request was
made to Attorney General Griffin
in a letter noting Hearst has
already spent 18 months behind
bars.
In an earlier letter to his col
leagues, Ryan said he had made a
personal investigation of the case
after Hearst had written him to ask
that he visit her.
He said his own conclusion to seek
her release had been “heavily influ
enced” by the comments of retired
FBI agent Charles Bates, who was
Hearst’s “pursuer and captor.”
“In the end, Hearst is a normal,
stable and lively young woman
of 24 who reminds me very much of
my own daughter Patty, and who is
almost exactly the same age, Ryan
wrote.
“I can tell you with certainty that
her incarceration will produce no
more ‘correction’ or ‘rehabilitation’,”
he said. “She is as capable of living in
a normal society as much as I am, or
you are. The only consideration left
is the amount of revenge which soci
ety must extract from Miss
Hearst,”he wrote.
Ryan said both he and Bates be
lieve that “justice is best served by
her release.”
