...jails. The experience changed his life and led to a client list that could serve as an American Dissidents' Hall of Fame: Martin Luther King Jr., Lenny Bruce, Al Sharpton, flag burner Gregory Johnson, Indian activist Leonard Peltier, Attica prison rioters, Malcolm X and-decades later-Malcolm's daughter Qubilah Shabazz. Kunstler's combative defense of the Chicago Seven brought him four years' worth of contempt citations (none of it served).

"I lost my father and I'm risking losing my mother," Shabazz told government informant Michael Fitzpatrick, according to the prosecution...
...Scouts to tell you much about the seedier corners that law enforcement needs to poke into. Even so, there may not be many government informants more rough-edged than Michael Fitzpatrick. Convicted bomber, alleged coke user, he is also the man whose accusations led to the arrest of Qubilah Shabazz, a daughter of Malcolm X, two weeks ago.
