Hello William Kekaula, you know William she should have had a longer jail sentence than 2 years. Yes I agree her family had their hands in the cookie jar. Aloha!

Hello, Darlene, you speak the truth to some extent. I highlighted an exposé regarding her court decree and the length she spent in prison after President Carter commuted her sentencing from seven years, down to two years she served. I excluded the fact that her family newspaper had their hands in the cookie jar, Aloha!

I'm glad Carter commuted her sentence. I think it must have been very traumatic to her. Well done and Congrats, William.

I agree, Andrea, as I lived deep in it at the time Oakland had their movements, one being the Black Panthers; Huey, Bobby, Angela ... living blocks in any direction in my teen years remembering the rioting food fight during the Hearst giving to the needy, "Oy vey!", I'm glad of Patty's outcome, Aloha!
