Judge Amy St. Eve, who is presently presiding over the Conrad Black trial in Chicago, today sentenced alleged Hamas operative Muhammad Salah to 21 months in prison for lying in a civil suit.
Earlier this year Salah and his two co-defendants were found not guilty of more serious terror-related and money laundering charges.
Salah is a member of the notorious Bridgeview Mosque.
The trial took a bizarre turn late last year when the defense attempted to use since-fired DePaul University Professor Norman Finkelstein as an expert witness. Finkelstein's testimony would've likely drawn upon his belief of the power of the Israel lobby in the United States.a
