Interesting topic.
From what I'm hearing the judge was actually somewhat easy on Ms Stewart.
She got the sentence she did because she lied to the Feds. I don't think her haughty behavior helped her at all......she seems quite oblivious to the fact that she indeed DID commit a crime and has been found guilty of it.
If it were the general population I could have easily believed that they might not know the rules and regulations but Martha knew her shit and she plain old did something unethical. Period.

I think her sentence was fair in that her partner in crime got almost the exact same sentence as she got.......I would have been disappointed if there had been a great disparity in what each party recieved. What was it? 5 months prison, 5 months in home and 2 years probation? Not sure exactly what the details were...LOL

I was a little surprised that her fines were so small. I would have expected them to be higher but I THINK I'm considering her overall wealth when I say that (which isn't really fair of me I guess).

It's been interesting to follow hasn't it?
