The Stockholm Syndrome Is a Weird Defense for the Patty Hearst Situation

The Stockholm syndrome is a weird defense for the Patty Hearst situation because the situation is so different. It doesn't seem like the captors in Sweden were even trying to get them to be on their side. So it's weird that Ethelie Bailey used that as an accused when they're two completely different scenarios. She was given and at the time that she went to trial, if they had wanted to really throw the book at her, she could have gone to prison for life.
