 STEWART'S LIFE IS IN DANGER WITH OBAMA'S CONTINUED ILLEGAL IMPRISONMENT OF 
 THIS PEOPLE'S LAWYER.  PLEASE READ THE WEBSITE ARTICLE BY HER HUSBAND, 
 RALPH POYNTER AND BELOW, STEVEN LENDMAN'S JUNE 22, 2010 
 ARTICLE\nhttp://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/06/updating-lynne-stewarts-love-struggle.html\nLynne's 
 Health\n\nJeff Mackler, Stewart Defense Committee West Coast Coordinator, 
 updated her condition, explaining that a regularly scheduled breast cancer 
 check revealed a spot on her liver. \n\nShe wanted a biopsy done by her own 
 doctor at her own hospital, (Roosevelt Hospital, New York). Instead it was 
 performed at "a notoriously inferior facility," taking a week compared to 
 Roosevelt's same day, more reliable results.\n\nWorse still, except during 
 examination and procedure, she was painfully shackled and handcuffed by 
 order of Obama administration prosecutors, "making rest and sleep virtually 
 impossible." \n\n\nJuly 15, 2010 is the new sentencing date when she could 
 receive an additional 30 years for no crime at all.  She is 70  years old 
 and has cancer.\n\nSee
