Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What 19-year old was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in this day in 1974?"
On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old daughter of newspaper publisher Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped by a group calling themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army. Within two months of her capture, the SLA released a video with Hearst saying she had joined the SLA of her own free will. Soon after, she was seen leading a bank robbery. Hearst was eventually arrested for bank robbery about 19 months after her kidnapping. Despite her claim that she had been brainwashed, she was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison. She served 21 months before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter.
