Well...she hasn't been charged...reasonable people can conclude from that fact, that there is not sufficient evidence to support the charge.

Again I repeat...

MARTHA STEWART IS NOT CHARGED WITH INSIDER TRADING, OR SECURITIES FRAUD RELATING TO HER SALE OF IMCLONE STOCK

[cyncooper]

Did you have some kind of point?

You do know she's on trial, right?

You seem hung up on this Insider Trading thing that I, for one, did not invoke.

Here's how the indictment against Steward is structured, in a nutshell.

1) 12/27/01, Martha gets a call from her stockbroker telling her that ImClone is probably going to tank.
2) She orders him to sell her shares.
3) The next day, ImClone tanks.
4) The FBI and the US Attorneys' office starts investigating.
5) Stewart lies to the investigators.
6) The AP reports Martha's sales on 6/6/02 and the day after MSLO starts to tank.
7) On 6/7/02, she gives a false statement about her sale of the ImClone stock to the Wall Street Journal.
8) On 6/12/02, she gives a false statement about her sale of the ImClone stock in what appears to have been a press release, but is called a "public statement."
9) On 6/18/02, prior to a meeting with stock analysts about MSLO, she again circulates a false "public statement" about her sale of the ImClone stock.
10) The reason for the false statements is to keep MSLO from tanking any further.
