I hate to see her doing more time than OJ.

She's a meanie, and a liar, but I can't see that the thing she lied about doing was any great crime against the "little guy". The stock in question is doing just fine, for one thing.

I think she ought to get a suspended sentence at the most. Community service might save her stinking soul.

REALLY...do you think a person like Hillary or Bill Clinton could be "reformed"...well Martha is cut from the same cloth...ain't gonna happen...

Situational ethics?

"Community service might save her stinking soul"..

Going along with that thought, it would be demeaning for Ms Stewart if she were sentenced to wash dishes and pots & pans at a homeless shelter, every night for a solid year. I can see it now :~)

Perhaps Martha would rather do time in Prison then slave for the homeless?

You just don't understand anything at all about this.

While murder and ANY white collar crime, is not equivalent,they are still crimes.

Because of what Martha was involved in( insider trading, falsifying/tampering with evidence,lying, etc.) some people have lost a great deal of money. An investor, with enough A stock,that he now sits on her board and has a hand in running her company now,has lost 1/3 of his investment... EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS, as of last Friday. The " little people " who have her stock have lost a lot of their money too, as have those who sold ImClone, AFTER her stock dump and Waksal's dump. It is only within the last few months, when the FDA approved the ImClone drug, that ImClone's stock has risen.

Facts matter..........learn some.
