Koeltl, who cited Stewart's long service as a defense attorney as grounds for the relatively short prison sentence, allowed her to remain free pending appeal of her conviction.

THE "HON." JOHN GEORGE KOELTL:

Nominated by William J. Clinton on April 26, 1994, to a seat vacated by Shirley Wohl Kram; Confirmed by the Senate on August 9, 1994, and received commission on August 10, 1994.

Judge Koeltl is a scholarly and contemplative judge who is among the fairest of the virtually hundreds of U.S. district judges before whom I have appeared for hearings and the many dozens in whose court I've been part of a trial. He know the law and applies it scrupulously and without fear or favor. He is the type of judge every American should be pleased to have serving their courts.

Thanks, Libertarian444. I was wondering who supported the Judge.

It's not very surprising to learn that Clinton appointed him.
