Martha Stewart walks away with a slap on the wrist for lying about something where she did nothing wrong, and her business is crumbling at the foundations. That'll be great when it finally caves in, and all those people end up in the unemployment line. Then the government can say they did it for the little guy.
Maybe they can still redeme themselves with Kenny boy.

completely agree. martha stewart was targeted because people love to hate her. (the reason they love to hate her are debateable but i vote for people's fear of a powerful woman.) the governments case was weak and very few americans even understand what the issue was. this trial was a publicity stunt, nothing more.
