Martha Stewart Found Guilty

Martha Stewart has been found guilty on all 4 counts.

From MSNBC:

NEW YORK - Martha Stewart was convicted Friday of obstructing justice and lying to the government about a superbly timed stock sale, a devastating verdict that probably means prison for the woman who epitomizes meticulous homemaking and gracious living.

I am in shock. I truly thought she would be found innocent.

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

She'll probably be put in one of those ritzy prisons unlike the average person who commits a crime. Do you think they will have her do any public service? I was just thinking, suppose she were to design a home or two free for habitat for humanity. What do you think?

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

Well, whenever stuff like this happens it usually affects the stock of the company. I bet her stock will go down, or who knows maybe it will go up. I don't know, LOL.

I think that is a good punishment 3tbear.

You know I honestly wonder how more people AREN'T convicted of insider trading. I mean honestly, it most likely happens every day. You think people who have millions invested in companies don't have a clue what's going on....I don't think as many people are just taking a gamble as we think...

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

GOOD! In hearing the evidence and witnesses, it was obvious she was guilty.

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

I still don't see what the big deal is with what she was convicted of, but oh well. The charges are so confusing because she wasn't even convicted of insider trading! She is still saying she is innocent: does that mean she is still lying?

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

Most people convicted of a crime still say they are innocent. Why should she be any different?

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

Do you think the outcome would be different if she had taken the stand?

I definitely think so. That was a BIG mistake IMO.

Re: Martha Stewart Found Guilty

She was once a stock broker so she knew what she was doing. It's the fact she lied that caused all the trouble, and even though I thought she was guilty I can't help but feel sorry for her. Tonight on the news they told what kind of facility she would be serving time in, and it's bare-bones and the same treatment as any other inmate. They figure she'll probably have to serve twelve to eighteen months.

I think that is wrong. Pure and simple, it is wrong.

Sorry if this offends anyone.


Personally, I love Martha's show and magazine but don't have an opinion one way or another about her current situation, not enough information.
Anyway, I thought this was funny:
