From the
NY Times:
"Lynne F. Stewart, the firebrand lawyer who was charged as a terrorist for helping a client in prison on terrorism charges to communicate with his followers, was sentenced today to 28 months in federal prison, far less than the 30 years the government had sought."
The truth:
Lynne Stewart, a lawyer
found guilty of aiding and abetting terrorist enemies of the United States of America by using her "attorney-client privilege" as a cover for acting as a go-between from prison to outside organizations and accomplices, was given a relative slap on the wrist today. She will serve a mere 2 years and 4 months for her crimes, rather than the 30 years sought by federal prosecutors.
