FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2009, file photo, Lynne Stewart, center, is surrounded by supporters and reporters in New York after a federal appeals court in New York City said a judge who sentenced Stewart to just over two years in prison should consider a harsher sentence in light of her case's terrorism connection.

Stewart was an attorney for a blind Egyptian sheik serving life for terrorism convictions until she was arrested on terrorism charges months after 9/11 for letting him communicate with followers.
