Ok so she gets busted on charges of sneaking messages out of a prison to members of her clients extremest terriost group and yet she only gets 28 months in prison....while the others that helped her got larger sentenses. I think this is crap, they played the "She has breast cancer, if she goes to jail she will die" and "She has served the community for so long" and not to mention the "I didn't know" cards. Ok this guy was convicted of plotting to blow up landmarks in New York, and he had you SMUGGLE letters out for him. How could you not know. But since she has defended the poor for so long she gets a lighter sentense? Bull crap I say, nobody should be given a lighter sentence if they break the law because they did good in the past. But this is just me, I feel if you break the law you should no get a lighter sentence because of things you have done in the past, past actions should play no part in a sentencing if it has nothing to do with the case itself.
