NEW YORK --A judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Pamela Smart, the New Hampshire school aide convicted of orchestrating her husband's murder, that claimed cruel treatment in prison.
Smart had accused officials at New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility of unfairly putting her in lockdown after prison-cell pictures of her wearing a bra and panties were published in a tabloid in 2003.
In a decision made public Friday, U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet said Smart did not sufficiently prove that her rights had been violated.
Smart is serving life without parole after being convicted in 1991 of convincing her teenage lover and his friends to murder her husband a year earlier.
