The light prison sentence given to disbarred attorney Lynne Stewart following her conviction for providing material support to a terrorist conspiracy continues to divide the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Three different opinions were issued by the circuit yesterday as judges staked out positions on how the court should review the 28-month sentence Southern District Judge John J. Koeltl ordered Ms. Stewart to serve in 2006 for helping imprisoned Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman communicate with his followers in Islamic Group.
The Second Circuit opinions begin on page 45 of the print edition of today’s Law Journal.
