No. She was accused of manipulating the stock price of her own company by asserting her innocence in public.

The thug who is now the head of the FBI - currently wasting cowboys in Oregon with gleeful abandon - is the genius who thought it all up:Marth Stewart conviction.

If Comey the Corrupt applied half of his BS to the administration that he prostitutes for, the entire White House staff would be in prison.

No. She was accused of manipulating the stock price of her own company by asserting her innocence in public.

That was a charge, but not one for which she was convicted. From CNN:

The panel of eight women and four men began deliberating Wednesday on whether Stewart and Bacanovic, 41, obstructed justice and lied to the government about her sale of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in December 2001.

The conviction came exactly a week after U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum threw out the most serious charge against Stewart -- securities fraud -- which carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The charge -- which the judge had called "novel" during the trial -- accused Stewart of using her own statements that she was innocent as a ploy to mislead investors in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
