Are you lying now, or was your lawyer lying then?

Convicted ex-lawyer Lynne Stewart's attorney proclaimed "If you send her to prison, she's going to die. It's as simple as that." [see this extraordinarily sympathetic AP offering]. So while I am driving in to work this morning, I hear Stewart on the radio laughing and celebrating on the courthouse steps after receiving a sentence of 28 months, proclaiming "as my clients say, I can do that standing on my head".

So, are you lying now, or was your lawyer lying in court at the sentencing hearing?
