She got off easy.
Martha, we talked about this last night, and I will only tell you one more time: What happens in the bedroom STAYS in the bedroom. I have a reputation to protect, and so do you...
Perhaps if you would've attempted to avoid coming across as a pompous arse you wouldn't be going to jail today, Martha.
Amazing how they minimize their sins and fabricate the sins of others. How can insider trading be "personal" for an officer of the NYSE?
President Clinton was not even fired from his job and never served a single day in jail.
Martha Stewart was sentenced to 5 months in jail, followed by 5 months home detention. Stewart also received 2 years probation and a fine of $30,000.
Now, can anyone explain to me why a private citizen is held to a higher standard than the President of the United States?
This is disgusting!
"During home detention she will be required to wear an electronic monitoring device"
Thank God.... otherwise, she might try to sneak out and steal a car to do a driveby shooting or such.
Free Martha!
I'm sure that will help the appeal.
In which she once more demonstrated the almost psychotic self centeredness and nastness for which she was actually convicted.
The charge was nonsense, but when half the people in the country hate your personality and would love a chance to punch you out, you are gonna get convicted.

If this is the way she describes insider trading, especially in consideration of the fact that she's a former board member of the NYSE, then I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. She's remorseless and out of touch with reality. She deserves every day of her imprisonment, and then some.
The government's case against her was weak, weak, weak. It relied on circumstantial evidence, emotional appeals to class envy, and outright perjury. The prosecutors needed a scalp to pacify public outrage over "corporate scandals," and Ms. Stewarts was one of the easier scalps to remove.
I hope she gets out on appeal.
What a terrible miscarriage of justice. Not that they nailed her, but that all kinds of folks get punished for their misdeeds while Bill and Hillary still walk free.
You guys know who's really going to suffer because of this don't you? We are!
I see a whole new slew of curtain designs and pastry glazings that are going to come out of this. And my wife will want to see them all!
I say execute her!
yes, Rush is having orgasms over her right now....
I guess the Felons all stick together
I'm just glad Ken Lay was indicted before Martha was sentenced so we don't have to hear about how the real criminals in big business don't get prosecuted. I don't imagine Lay is going to get off with a mere five months in prison.
I just spent 3 years in probate court for a estate worth $100,000.00. The attorneys fees were $40,000.00. The judge was a clown. The appointed attorney was an idiot, and the three years of my life were wasted.
No justice served in the judicial system. I would have preferred taking it out of the little freaks hide for what he stole from my brothers and sisters.
More satisfaction.
