I read the book what was written about some crimes in U.S.
Especially, I was interested in 2 big crimes. One is the assassination of President Kennedy. And another is kidnapping affair of Patricia Hearst. Many Japanese know about assassination of President Kennedy. But about the kidnapping affair of Patricia Hearst, is not famous than Kennedy affair.

In Feb 1974, she carried off by the SLA (Symbioses Liberation Army). Because she was a grand daughter of William Randolph Hearst who is the president of The San Francisco Examiner that is very big News Paper Company. The SLA sent many demands. But, in august, her parents were given the cassette tape that was recorded her declaration that she became a member of SLA. And after this, her figure that she is committing a robbery with members gave all over the U.S a terrible shock. Afterward, she was active about some affair with members.
In 1975, she was arrested. But, in the trial, she asserted that she was innocent and the Defense also asserted she was done a brain wash by SLA, and SLA has all responsibility for this affair. Panel gave her judgment on 35 years sentence. But public figures like Ronald Reagan, and John Wayne submitted a petition for release of her. And sentence of a prison has been changed to 7 years.
After released, she has appeared on sociality and some movies as a supporting actress.
As a result of psychiatric test, her activity with SLA was caused by Stockholm syndrome.I was so surprised because the SLA was an enemy for her. But because of Stockholm syndrome, her mind has been changed oppositely. It is very interesting. (298words)
