[FLW Buckeye]

So much for her doing her sentence while standing on her head.

Stupid Bitch.

Isn't that the 7th kid from the Brady Bunch.

But what seemed to weigh heavily on the judge’s decision were statements Ms. Stewart made to the press after her first sentencing that she could do 28 months “standing on my head” and that she would do it all again.

Talk about kicking your own ass. It has taken it to a new level.

[Derron]

she shouldn't have aided terrorists and lied to our government.

Yeah kind of like our politicians local to Federal, and Wall Street exec's, and government employees...etc,etc,etc.....l

Stewart is being railroaded. You obviously know nothing of the case. The blind sheik whom she was defending was framed--and persecuted because he was the top opposition leader to the dictator Mubarak in Egypt. The conspiracy charges against her are as trumped up as any in Cuba, China, or Iran. The actual case brought against her is a ludicrous sham.

[FLW Buckeye]

Railroaded?

Who or what railroaded her into talking shit about her being able to do her sentence while standing on her head? Only her arrogance...

[LTS TRN 2]

Find out the facts, you moron.

[Derron]

Find out the facts, you moron.

Since when do the facts mean anything to you, you stupid fuck....

[mvscal]

The conspiracy charges against her are as trumped up

If she did nothing wrong, why would she say she could do 28 months standing on her head and would do it all again? Do what again?

As usual, you are completely clueless. The evidence against her is overwhelming and far beyond any shadow of doubt. Intelligent people have also made note of the fact her complaint now relates to the length of her sentence not her innocence of the charges.

Enjoy your latest ride on the plunger pony, Felchie.

You know, it would be easy to believe that posts from people like LTS TRN 2 are just troll jobs, but a quick trip to a site like the "Socialist Worker" shows that there are those who really think like that. Scary.

Look, Wolfdung, here is what you're citing...

Okay, let's see you actually dispute any pat of it..

Contrariwise, the government and prison authorities see Lynne as a convicted terrorist. Lynne was the victim of a frame-up trial held in the post-9/11 context. She was convicted on four counts of "aiding and abetting terrorism" stemming from a single act, Lynne's issuance of a press release on behalf of her client, the "blind" Egyptian Sheik Omar Abdel Rachman.

The press release, which the government claimed violated a Special Administrative Order (SAM), was originally ignored as essentially trivial by the Clinton administration and then-Attorney General Janet Reno. But the Bush administration' s Attorney General John Ashcroft decided to go after Lynne with a sledgehammer.

A monstrous trial saw the government attorneys pulling out all the stops to convince an intimidated jury that Lynne was associated in some way with terrorist acts across the globe, not to mention with Osama bin Laden. Both the judge and government were compelled to admit in court that there were no such "associations," but press clippings found in Lynne's office were nevertheless admitted as "hearsay" evidence, even though they were given to Lynne by the government under the rules of discovery.

It is likely that Lynne's request for a postponement will be granted, assuming the government holds to the law that a prisoner has the right to partake in her/his own defense. Lynne's illness has certainly prevented her from doing so.

In the meantime, Lynne would like nothing more than to hear from her friends and associates. Down the road, her defense team will also be looking for appropriate letters to the judge on Lynne's behalf. More later on the suggested content of these letters.


You can't dispute it, of course, because it's true, and you're a wind up hack with nothing but childish smears and Glenn Beck-like blather in your twisted head space. But let's get that clear as well, eh? :wink:

You can't dispute it, of course,

Actually, you can dispute it because it is complete bullshit. 88 provided a link to the indictment which details the case and the evidence against her. She was certainly not convicted on the basis of "press clippings found in her office." It's past time for you to start dealing with reality, Felchie.

"I can do 28 months standing on my head and I would do it all again," is not the statement of an innocent individual. It is the statement of a deliberate and unrepentant criminal. She was well aware of the special administrative measure and took affirmative steps to evade them. She was aware that this is a criminal act and she didn't care. There is no reason she should suffer anything less than the full penalty of law.

Wakey, wakey, Lynne. Time to die in prison!

What a crock of shit. When was the last time you saw a 450lb chemo patient? Not only is she clearly not having any difficulties with nausea, but she has the strength to lift her hand from plate to mouth to the tune of 5,000 calories/day.

Okay, you can't refute anything specifically.

Try this..

Both the judge and government were compelled to admit in court that there were no such "associations," but press clippings found in Lynne's office were nevertheless admitted as "hearsay" evidence, even though they were given to Lynne by the government under the rules of discovery.

Go ahead, try to refute that. We're watching.
