The political spectrum covers a wide variety of news and I think that the Martha Stewart case does indeed fit in, but I can see where Peetster might want the focus shifted a little.
Have you ever considered how this case will be affected due to the fact that the conservative Bush Administration is in power and that members of that administration have already been accused of having ties with Enron? That fact right there might answer the question posed at the beginning of the thread: Will she go to jail or just be slapped on the wrist? as well as add some political credibility.
I think that because of the enormous media backlash that Enron and company caused, there will be a political need for Martha Stewart to be prosecuted harshly. The courts (which are a part of the American political system called the Judicial Branch) will most likely feel the need to prove that this kind of political corruption is not condoned by the United States government. I think that Martha Stewart is needed as a media scapegoat and that is exactly what she will be used as.
