I find it fascinating that Martha Stewart is considered as more of a criminal. She would have been glad to pay and walk.

She could have. All she had to do was cop a plea to the (still pending) insider trading charge. Berger plead guilty; Stewart asserted that she was innocent.

Well, for national security reasons, I'd rather have Martha dump a stock she knew was going to tank than for Sandy B. to take his weed whacker to the National Archives.
