The outspoken New York civil rights lawyer who represented clients ranging from small-time criminals to radicals and was released early from prison three years ago because she was expected to die of cancer has died. Her husband, Ralph Poynter, said Stewart died Tuesday, March 7, 2017, in the Brooklyn home where she lived after receiving a «compassionate release» from prison in January 2014.
