I understand all that but to put her in an orange jumpsuit
is silly. Take what she apparently loves most, money and
sophistication.

Well, you might think it is silly, but it is the law. If you think this is so silly, write your Congressman. Federal sentencing guidelines are to prevent unequal sentencing for the same crime. If Martha Stewart were Jane Jones from Tupelo, Mississippi, no one would be thinking her sentencing was silly.

Martha would prefer you call the color of that jumpsuit "pumpkin"!

Hah - that's not enough - take her freedom away too.

Humiliate her with the jump suit and lots of "up the wazoo(s)" checks for weapons and contraband. She IS a criminal, after all!

They should give her life without parole for the unkept mop on her head if for no other reason.

...to put her in an orange jumpsuit is silly. Take what she apparently loves most, money and sophistication.

Aren't they the same thing?

[Ditter]

Martha in an orange jumpsuit is important for other would-be Marthas to see. Some people can learn from the mistakes of others, the consenquences just need to be very easy to see. Remember the dunce cap & the chair in the corner? Well, I don't actually remember seeing anything like a dunce cap either but I remember pictures of it. That was enough for me.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit will do that! She broke laws and is going to have to pay the sentence for it. Why should SHE be given special treatment just because she is a celebrity? The laws are for all of us and it is central to civility.
