"I'm sorry, I‘m a coward. I didn’t want to die."

Grobel explained how he became the lucky journalist to get the Patty Hearst interview for Playboy after she had served two years in prison before President Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence:
From hours of exclusive interview tapes, we honed in on the idea of "reasonable doubt" and Hearst's unsuccessful claim that she was brainwashed by her captors, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), and forced to join their wild ride of bank robbery and crime. Hearst says the SLA told her she would be killed if she didn't pledge allegiance to their radical cause.
What would you have done in her shoes?
