Stewart was convicted in February 2005 of providing material support to terrorists.

Yeah, I think she was convicted and it was the right thing to do. She was passing messages from her client to his terrorist group. That's not the job of a lawyer, that's the job of a terrorist.

Lawyer, Lynne Stewart, is going to a federal court to find out if she will get the maxiumum 30 year sentence. She is being charged with aiding a terrorist in 1995. She aided him by being his lawyer and fighting for his innocence even though he was guilty.

So if she passed information she did so while he was still -not guilty-

She became part of his terrorist network by knowingly passing on information from him to his cronies to carry out attacks.
Hopefully she'll spend the rest of her life in jail.
Stewart's former paralegal, Ahmed Abdel Sattar, was sentenced to 24 years in prison. Sattar was convicted of plotting to kill people in a foreign country for writing a paper urging the murder of Jews.
Also awaiting sentencing is Stewart's translator, Mohammed Yousry. He was convicted of material support for terrorism.

As his lawyer, he obviously wasnt convicted of anything yet.

I didn't know that you can go to jail for writting a paper urging murder?

I'm no lawyer so let me know if I'm wrong. I wasn't aware that plotting to kill anyone was a jailable offense.
