Judge Koeltl is best known for his October 2006 decision to sentence civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart to 28 months in prison for providing material assistance to a terrorist, her client, 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind Omar Abdel-Rahman, by secretly passing messages to his radical followers in Egypt. Koeltl sentenced Stewart to 28 months in prison, rather than the 30 years sought by prosecutors. [1] The Second Circuit Court of Appeals found the sentence too light and ordered Koeltl to reconsider whether that sentence was too light and to take into account the government's argument that she had committed perjury at her trial and abused her position as a lawyer. Koeltl cited remarks Stewart had made after being sentenced that indicated a lack of remorse. He changed the sentence to 10 years in prison. [2] [3]
