No shock there. She's lied from the start.

I have found it rather amazing that so many people (including conservatives like Larry Kudlow) seem so ready to cut Martha some slack... "Oh, it was a petty thing..." "Nobody would ever press this kind of case if it wasn't a big name like Martha Stewart...."

All of this sympathizing and rationalizing is the same cr*p that went on during the countless Clinton scandals -- and they were never held to account. Not only did Martha use insider trading to save herself a measly what, $40K? $80K? For this Billionairess?!!!!

And Larry: where's your sympathy for the young guy at Merrill Lynch who had his entire career in the securities industry taken away because he helped facilitate the trades (and then squealed on Martha)?

MS is another Leona Helmsley and she deserves the same treatment Leona got. We have to stop the winking and nodding at this kind of illegal behavior made so famous (and acceptable) by the Clintons. JMHO!

I'm all in favor of prosecuting her, and not just because she's part of the liberal elite.

That's gravy.

They would certainly prosecute me if I did what she did, and rightfully so. Cut her no slack.

You misread what Larry K. has said - he's merely protested the behind-the-scenes whispering and news leaks from the SEC + prosecutors; either put up or shut up is what his take has been.

I personally will feel some degree of satisfaction seeing her go down. Her political leanings are the height of liberal arrogance and her company is the most overpriced joke there is and among those which have ever been - I decried its foolishness the day it IPO'd and today - even at depresssed beaten down & shorted pricing - it still trades at P/E nearly 200!
