Prominent defense attorney Lynne Stewart, whose original 28-month prison sentence was raised to a whopping 10-year term simply for not expressing “remorse” following her conviction, is reportedly suffering from breast cancer, requiring immediate expert treatment. According to reports by Stewart's supporters, the breast cancer that she was diagnosed with in the 2000s has reemerged and spread to her lungs and upper back. Lynne Stewart Defense Committee has announced in a statement, quoting Stewart's husband Ralph Poynter, that Stewart’s condition is still treatable, if prison officials would act on her request to receive expert treatment at a New York City hospital, as she has before.
