NEW YORK A federal judge has rejected an appeal from a defense attorney convicted of passing messages from her terrorist client to his followers.
Lynne Stewart argued that the messages she carried from Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman (shayk OH'-mahr AHB'-dehl RAHK'-mahn) in prison were protected by the First Amendment.
But the judge ruled that after Abdel-Rahman was convicted of conspiring to kill people in a foreign country, his words did not have constitutional protection.
Stewart, who's 65, could be sentenced to 20 years in prison. Sentencing has been scheduled for December 22nd. Her attorneys say she will continue her appeal.

Hey Lynne... don't do the crime if you can't do the time!Don't forget, Cindy Sheehan is an admirer of hers ... as if you need any other proof that Sheehan isn't anti-war, but anti-American...
