A federal appeals court has ordered a civil rights lawyer convicted in a terrorism case that originated in Minnesota to begin serving her prison sentence.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan today also upheld Lynne Stewart's conviction, which was based in part on illegally aiding her client, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, during a visit with him at the federal prison in Rochester, Minn., in May 2000.
She was convicted of smuggling messages between Abdel-Rahman and a terrorist group.
Stewart was sentenced to a little more than two years in prison.

She’s another Obama supporter, just like Nidal Hasan.

The appeals court also ordered the trial judge to reconsider the length of her sentence, because the judge didn't consider whether she committed perjury at trial.Two years is far too short.

If I can paraphrase Chrissy Matthews: It’s not illegal to smuggle messages to terrorists is it?

How many of the lawyers working for the Gitmo detainees in their trials in NYC will do the exact same thing with classified info, names of agents etc? All it takes is 1.

She’ll probably end up on KSM’s defense team. One more reason NOT to try him in Southern District of NY. Does anyone even remember that sentencing for a terrorist involved in first WTC bombing was scheduled for 9/11/01 in the Federal courthouse in lower Manhattan but me?

This witch still hasn’t served any time? Preposterous.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
She carried terror messages when she was the killer’s lawyer.
Let her rot in prison. It’s a travesty that she walked free all this time since her conviction.

That’s why it’s being held here and not by the military in Gitmo....
