She did nothing to you, therefore, you have no cause to allow or deny forgiveness... LanternWaste Dec 2013 #94

Think what you want of me, Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #101

She was sentenced to 28 months after trial under Bush. Resentenced to 10 years under Holder. rug Dec 2013 #14

The higher sentence probably had something to do with the statement iandhr Dec 2013 #17

Completely justifies another 8 years in federal prison. rug Dec 2013 #19

You bet it does. iandhr Dec 2013 #20

So, you think she should get 8 years for a remark and 2 years for terrorism? rug Dec 2013 #22

Without addressing this situation... jberryhill Dec 2013 #28

It is but there would first have to be a trial on the contempt charge. rug Dec 2013 #30

There is no "trial" for contempt jberryhill Dec 2013 #35

Direct criminal contempt certainly is. rug Dec 2013 #68

No I think she deserved 10 years for terrorism the remark not withstanding. iandhr Dec 2013 #50

Then the rest of the spinning doesn't matter. rug Dec 2013 #66

No. Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #21

She is in prison because the DoJ argued for 8 more years to a receptive judge. rug Dec 2013 #23

Wrong. Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #24

Ah, she asked for 8 more years after her appeal. rug Dec 2013 #26

By not shutting her fucking pie hole, Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #27

You can twist it. It was the judge who gave her 8 years for a TV interview, not Lynne Stewart. rug Dec 2013 #29

The judge gave her an xtra 8 years for her lack of remorse Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #31

And another judge might not have. rug Dec 2013 #32

I've already said that she should be released to spend the rest of her days with Ranchemp. Dec 2013 #34

Another judge might have given her the whole 30. It was the same judge on the msanthrope Dec 2013 #60

Do you know who filed and prosecuted the appeal on the sentence? rug Dec 2013 #63

Stewart filed the appeal, requesting non-jail time. She badly, and I mean, BADLY miscalculated. nt msanthrope Dec 2013 #64

Try again. rug Dec 2013 #67

Wrong--this is Stewart's appeal from 2007, appealing the 28-months.....read # 70, too.... msanthrope Dec 2013 #72

Just as soon as you answer 73. rug Dec 2013 #77

You mean where the Obama Administration asked for half the sentence the Bush Administration did? msanthrope Dec 2013 #83

"The government wanted me then, as it does now, to spend the rest of my life in prison. rug Dec 2013 #85

Yes---15 to 30 is half of what was originally asked. She got 10. Had she kept her piehole shut msanthrope Dec 2013 #89

That wouldn't have stopped the Govt from appealing the sentence. rug Dec 2013 #98

Well, yes---lying at your trial generally will convince an appellate court to resentence you. msanthrope Dec 2013 #40

You do realize that the testimony was given before the original sentence, don't you? rug Dec 2013 #62

That is precisely the point, and if you had YOUR facts straight, you might realize how foolishly you msanthrope Dec 2013 #70

She was resentenced in 2010. Hmmmm, who was the AUSA working for then? rug Dec 2013 #73

NO---she appealed the 28 months, asking for non-jail time--during the Bush msanthrope Dec 2013 #75

Do you know what a cross-appeal is? Read the caption. rug Dec 2013 #80

The transcript where Stewart notes the Obama Administration asked for half the original sentence? msanthrope Dec 2013 #84

Lol, read 85. Then read the transcript again. rug Dec 2013 #87

When are you going to explain how President Obama was in office January 2008, which you claimed msanthrope Dec 2013 #91

That wasn't the claim. The fact, not a claim is that the resentencing was done through Holder. rug Dec 2013 #97

It's the same strategy Obama used to screw up the Katrina response jberryhill Dec 2013 #74

You're right. Obviously, 9/11 was Obama's fault. nt msanthrope Dec 2013 #78

Simple question - does every dying convict get to go home? brooklynite Dec 2013 #79

Que? jberryhill Dec 2013 #81

Who was in office on July 15, 2010 whe she was resentenced to 10 years? rug Dec 2013 #82

As Ms. Stewart noted in her transcript, the same people who asked for half her original sentence.... msanthrope Dec 2013 #86

"The government wanted me then, as it does now, to spend the rest of my life in prison." rug Dec 2013 #90

What is indefensible? She got 28 months and decided to appeal. Then she got 10 years. How is the msanthrope Dec 2013 #93

You left out the government appealed to get a harsher sentence. rug Dec 2013 #96
