Terrorist Facilitator Gets 10 Years: Lynne Stewart, who used the attorney-client privilege to facilitate communications between imprisoned terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman and his organization, was sentenced to 10 years in prison today. The Second Circuit sent the case back to the District Court for reconsideration of the original 2-year, 4-month sentence. Tom Hays and Larry Neumeister have this story for AP.  The judge made the increase "after concluding she lied to a jury and lacked remorse."

Justice Flub Freed Polanski:  An Associated Press story reports that the Justice Department's denial of a request by Swiss authorities for transcripts showing that child rapist Roman Polanski had more than six months to serve on his sentence resulted in their refusal to extradite him.  A letter from Swiss officials dated Monday provided a time line regarding the request and when it was turned down.  The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office was never notified of the request or the Justice Department's decision to turn it down.  Because of that decision the letter states "Under these circumstances it cannot be excluded with certainty that Roman Polanski, who was imprisoned in Chino State Prison for 42 days, has not already served the sentence imposed on him."  A Justice Department spokesperson had no comment on the matter.
