New York Times:
Sentence Is Sharply Increased for Lawyer Convicted of Aiding Terror
A federal judge on Thursday increased the sentence of Lynne F. Stewart, a disbarred lawyer convicted of assisting terrorism, to 10 years — nearly five times as long as her original sentence.
An appeals court had ordered the judge, John G. Koeltl of Federal District Court in Manhattan, to resentence Ms. Stewart after it deemed his first sentence, of 28 months, too light.
Judge Koeltl, after speaking for about 45 minutes about the considerations he had made, the legal sentencing guidelines and the facts of the case, ordered Ms. Stewart to serve 120 months.
A collective gasp went up from Ms. Stewart’s supporters, who packed the broad, high-ceilinged courtroom. That was followed by a few shrieks and sobs; some held their hands over their mouths.
Ms. Stewart, in an oversize navy blue prison jumpsuit, sat silently as the sentence was announced. Afterward, when Judge Koeltl offered her an opportunity to speak, she paused for several seconds before rising.
“I’m somewhat stunned, Judge, by the swift change in my outlook,” she said. “We will continue to struggle on to take all available options to do what we need to do to change this.”
I don't know what sorts of mental pathologies are at play here but Ms. Stuart has actively aided terrorists down to smuggling information from one of her 'clients' to his co-terrorists in Egypt. She knew what she was doing and is now paying the price.
Although entering this Nation legally requires jumping over a few hoops, leaving is just a matter of walking away and moving to a different country. More of these America haters should walk the walk and vote with their feet.
