Federal Prosecutors have TOO MUCH POWER. Thay can practially make a mail fraud case against ANYONE IN THE US because the statutes are so vague.

Martha Stewart appears to have been lead astray by a number of ex-boyfirends; her knowledge of the stock market is obviously minimal. The Government's case is largely a tissue of lies and half-truths. I hope she waxes the Feds in court.

her knowledge of the stock market is obviously minimal

Legal experts who doubt Stewart traded on inside information note the tiny profit motive for a woman whom Forbes estimates as worth $650 million. In addition, trading activity leaves a detailed electronic trail, leading some to doubt that Stewart, a former stock broker who also was a New York Stock Exchange director, would take such risk.

This always bothered me..she builds an empire and takes this risk for 'grocery money'?

"her knowledge of the stock market is obviously minimal"

Her previous profession was as a stock broker... she knew exactly what she was doing. Additionally, a stock broker would know when she was talking to her own broker versus talking to his assistant (this article pretends that she confused the two). And she can't remember what she said in that 2 minute conversation? Given her experience, I bet she remembers the discussion even more clearly than the she remembers her recipe for Martha's Old Fashioned Ice Cubes...

Martha Stewart WAS a FORMER BROKER....she is going down because she like the Clinton's figure LAWS don't apply to her and that she is another lil miss smarty pants like her mentors Hill and Bill...
