Even after she was caught, she was offered a plea bargain which only involved a fine and a suspended sentence, and she refused.
Apparently you think that she is to be forgivien because she is a woman and famous. That isn't how the law is supposed to work.
I find it interesting that you, who have been on this forum for years ranting about how Bush is privileged and gets breaks, are suddenly supporting Martha Stewart. It is amazing that you have decided that she is being persecuted. One might think that your motive is simply to disagree with anything the Bush Administration has done. When the Enron people are on trial, will you support them as well?
No I think the national government has something better to do with its time than prosecute Martha Stewart. Frankly I find it amazing that a President that champions 'conservatism' would allow the attack dogs loose on the stock market. But in our new version of 'conservatism' we can't let the businesses run loose now can we? Heaven forbid capitalism might break out. The market would have either corrected itself or the state of New York would have stepped in. No need for a federal prosecution.

Two things here. Martha Stewart isn't part of the national government. What she does with her money and her time is of no concern to me. However an elected official pandering to special interest groups, passing half trillion dollar medical plans, sending troops to root around in the desert for 'phantom' WMDs, and all the while opening our Southern border more everyday to criminals is a concern to me. Secondly I don't thing I ever 'ranted' that Bush 'is privileged and gets breaks'. Not being a conservative OTOH is another story
