NEW YORK — A judge resentenced a 70-year- old civil-rights lawyer to 10 years in prison for letting a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his radical followers.
Federal Judge John Koeltl sentenced Lynne Stewart in Manhattan after she pleaded with him to reimpose the two-year, four-month sentence he had originally given her in 2006. An appeals court had ordered a new sentencing, saying the judge needed to consider whether she committed perjury. Koeltl said she did and that she lacked remorse.
