Emily Harris (born February 11, 1947 as Emily Montague Schwartz ) was, along with her husband William Harris (1945--), a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), an American left-wing terrorist group involved in bank robberies, kidnapping and murder. In the 1970s, she was convicted of kidnapping Patty Hearst . In 2003, she was convicted of murder in the second degree for being the shooter in a 1975 slaying that occurred while she and other SLA members were robbing a bank in California. She was sentenced to eight years in prison for the murder. Founding the Symbionese Liberation Army [ edit ]Emily and Bill Harris arrived in Berkeley, California in 1973 from Bloomington, Indiana . They came with their friends Gary Atwood and Angela Atwood . They soon joined a left-wing group that, among other things, visited prisoners in northern California. The Harrises met an escaped prisoner, Donald DeFreeze . They joined the SLA, created by Mizmoon Soltysik , Nancy Ling Perry , Joe Remiro , Russ Little , Willie Wolfe , Angela Atwood, Thero Wheeler and Camilla Hall. Emily Harris's nom de guerre was Yolanda. [3] On November 6, the SLA committed its first public act, the assassination of popular Oakland, California school superintendent Marcus Foster . The SLA mistakenly thought Foster was behind a plan to create student identification cards for Oakland high schools. Subsequently, they kidnapped Patty Hearst , the college student heir to the Hearst newspaper chain. [4]Later SLA and Opsahl murder [ edit ]Emily and Bill Harris took over the leadership of the SLA after six other SLA members died in a Los Angeles shootout with police and the house fire it triggered. After the fire, the Harrises spent over a year eluding the authorities with Hearst, and new members Kathleen Soliah , Josephine Soliah , Steven Soliah , Mike Bortin , Jim Kilgore , and Wendy Yoshimura . Hearst herself had since become a participant in SLA crimes. Yoshimura, Patty's closest friend while underground, was a fugitive for her involvement with explosives that were stored in a garage she rented. During that year the SLA committed a string of crimes, including an April 21, 1975, robbery of Crocker National Bank in Carmichael, California . During the robbery, 42-year-old Myrna Opsahl was shotgunned to death. Opsahl was depositing a church collection at the time. Patty Hearst stated in her 1982 autobiography Every Secret Thing that Emily was the shooter. Hearst also stated that Harris said, "Oh, she's dead, but it doesn't really matter. She was a bourgeois pig anyway. Her husband is a doctor." Other SLA members had urged Harris not to bring the shotgun to the robbery, as it had accidentally discharged twice during preparations.The Harrises were eventually arrested and served eight years in prison for the Hearst kidnapping. Imprisoned at the California Institution for Women at Frontera, California... read more
