Lynne Stewart died yesterday, surrounded by her husband and son, of complications due to her advanced metastatic cancer.
I regard her as having been a political prisoner for the time she was incarcerated. Her entire legal career was for the underdog and those being tread upon by the powerful, the government, the system. She did not get a fair trail and the second trial was a kangaroo court to scare all lawyers from providing defense of those the US government considered 'terrorists'. She was released at the end of 2013 early due to her cancer.
Lynne Stewart Presente!
