Brenna Stewart, 48, daughter of disbarred terrorist mouthpiece (third item) Lynne Stewart, was suspended from practicing law for six months after pleading guilty to petit larceny for submitting a falsified documents so she could get paid for nine absences from her job as coach of the varsity women's basketball team at a Bronx high school, reports New York Law Journal:
During one such absence, Stewart attended the sentencing of her mother, who had been convicted by a federal jury of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists by passing messages from her imprisoned client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, to his followers. …
According to papers from the disciplinary proceeding, Stewart graduated from New York Law School in 1994 and was admitted to the New York Bar the following year. …
Stewart quit the practice of law in 2005 and returned to her earlier career in teaching …
In 2005, city investigators reported to the Department of Education that Stewart had submitted three false documents to a school secretary to justify absences: a letter from a nonexistent physician, a copy of her aunt's death certificate on which Stewart had altered the date of the death, and a letter from Stewart's sister, a Florida physician, falsely stating that Stewart suffered from an "acute contagious illness."
Stewart had also been sentenced to one year of probation for the misdemeanor offense.
