Martha Stewart is likely to go to jail for lying.

Too bad the same thing didn't happen to the Great Stainmaker, or his Charming Bride (a.k.a. The Commodities Scam Queen).

Yes, it does bring back those memories.

I read in the NY Post that prosecutors initially offered Martha a deal: plead guilty to one count of obstruction of justice and serve 4 months in jail. In light of the testimony that was coming, she should have taken that deal and been done with it. Her company would already be back on its feet and the entire matter fading from public memory.

(And saved herself $9 million in attorney fees, since "fighting it in court" amounted to nothing.)
