A tentative date has been set, December 22, for Lynne Stewart's sentencing hearing. This is the third time that the date has been changed AND it may be changed just once more. The reason for the changes stems from the legal team's need for a thorough review of the transcripts and other matters necessary for the best possible arguments for the shortest sentence possible. Liz Fink has taken the major lead in the sentencing aspect of Stewart's case. Liz is the very successful Attica attorney who has more recently joined the defense effort. In short, it may well be the case that the sentencing is postponed to early next year.
Once again, the courts just doing their job.
"I may be wrong, but I think she has cancer, so she may not ever get sentenced"
You are right. She was recently diagnosed w/ I believe, breast cancer.
that did not stop gotti from being jailed and transfered to a hospital facility, I don't think she will ever serve time and that's a shame. Cunningham has cancer and he was taken away and at least he didn't assist the terrorist, served his country with honor until this lapse of judgement.
