Twenty eight months?

Here’s a woman who was helping an imprisoned terrorist communicate with his followers so that he could plan future terrorist attacks from his prison cell, and she receives a sentence of 28 months when the federal sentencing guidelines called for a maximum of 30 years!

A firebrand civil rights lawyer who has defended Black Panthers and anti-war radicals was sentenced Monday to nearly 2 1/2 years in prison — far less than the 30 years prosecutors wanted — for helping an imprisoned terrorist sheik communicate with his followers on the outside.

Notice how the Associated Press refers to her as a civil rights attorney, when what she’s done her whole life was defend murderers and thugs.

Stewart has represented Black Panthers, leaders of the 1960s student activist group Weather Underground, a former mob hit man and a man accused of trying to kill nine police officers.

Stewart was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists. She had released a statement issused by one of her clients, Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt’s president.

How exactly does defending terrorists and killers constitute being a “civil rights lawyer”? And how did this piece of filth react to her sentence?

Lynne Stewart, 67, smiled, cried and hugged supporters after U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl pronounced the sentence.

Well, hell, I’d smile and cry for joy if I just got a slap on the wrist too. Not only that, but this dirtbag doesn’t even have to stay in prison while she’s conducting her appeal. What a travesty of justice.

    When somebody makes a habit of defending terrorists and murderers like the Blind Sheikh, the Weather Underground etc. they are making a political statement that says “I hate the United States and I will defend it’s enemies to the best of my abilitities”. Obviously, since we have an adversarial system, everyone deserves a defense. But when an individual becomes a lifelong advocate for those sorts of clients, they are not merely providing a defense, they are making a statement, and thus they should  be looked upon with disdain. Plus, defending terrorists and killers, even if they happen to be minorities, does not make you a “civil rights lawyer”. Being arrested for terrorism and murder does not constitute a civil rights violation.

    And, of course she knew that she was helping her client plan another terrorist attack. Good grief! Thirty years would’ve been too good for her. The penalty for treason is death.

    Don’t try to confuse the issue to protect a traitor. Every person deserves a fair trial and a vigorous defense.

    The condemnation is for aiding and supporting terrorists. She was supposed to defend the accused not pass messages back and forth so terrorist cells could continue to function. That had nothing to do with his defense.

    Pay attention to the issue at hand. The article was about her treacherous passing of notes. That’s why she was in court and that’s what I fully condemn.

    If Lynne Stewart indeed knowlingly relayed messages from her blind sheik client to other terrorists in support of terrorist activities, then she indeed deserves the sentence and the consequences of a felony conviction.
    But representing clients charged with serious crimes is not wrong.
    Recently, our law office was involved in investigating the circumstances of a client who is accused of Rape 2, which with his previous convictions is worth about 9 years under Washington state law. In our investigation, we found evidence that the accuser threatened our client to “f___ up his world” in a love letter to him.
    We sent a copy of this evidence to our client in jail and to the prosecuting authorities in his county, and when we find out the name of a public defender representing him, we will send that to his office as well.
    Now you can condemn us all you want for representing the interests of an accused rapist.
    Nevertheless, most Americans will admit that the prosecutor’s office has a right to this evidence for use in considering what charges, if any, to formally file with a court, against our client or against a false accuser, and our client has the right to present this evidence in his defense.
    That is the American way.
    And I will not join you in condemning Lynne Stewart for representing clients charged with crimes.

    Disgusting! 30 years wouldn’t have been long enough for helping those that would destroy our country.

    These liberal lawyers think they are above the law.
