About Ruthann Aron

Born 1942. Ruthann Aron is an American politician.

Ruthann Aron (née Greenzweig; born October 24, 1942), now known as Ruth Ann Green, At the slander trial, Aron cited Brock's use of the term "convicted" for verdicts that had come in civil court. The lawyer Arthur G. Kahn, who had prosecuted one of the fraud cases, testified against Aron at the February 1996 trial, which Aron lost. Nonetheless, it was the first time that a losing federal candidate got the winner to court over words spoken in a campaign. At the time of her arrest, Aron was planning to run as a Democrat for an at-large seat on the Montgomery County Council. She was removed from the Planning Board two months after her arrest.

In Aron's first trial, she used nine expert witnesses to argue that a brain injury and childhood abuse had rendered her incapable of realizing that what she was doing was illegal. She was diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder by multiple psychiatrists. One juror held out on her behalf, and a mistrial was declared. In July 1998, Aron pleaded no contest, and in November 1998, she was sentenced to two consecutive 18-month prison sentences.

Aftermath Aron's son, Joshua, was an employee at Cantor Fitzgerald's offices at the World Trade Center and was killed in the 9/11 attacks. Her daughter, Dana Aron Weiner, is a psychologist who works at Northwestern University in Chicago. At Aron's trial, Weiner pleaded for clemency on her mother's behalf.
