She's got a rough road ahead though -- since she's been in prison, the company has lost advertisers and posted its first two quarters of losses.

it's funny that Martha is the "big" criminal while people that ran a billion dollar company get extremely light sentences and keep most of their money while some people lost their entire life savings and then some on the deal, it's always nice how "big business" always finds somebody else to put the blame on when everything goes to shit, and the government always agrees with them, kind of like when sponsors go belly up and keep all of your money

I, for one, am appalled that this dangerous criminal is free again to roam the streets. Okay, the hallways of her mansion. Whatever.

You do realize, Ms. Stewart was never actually found guilty of insider trading. Or masive fraud. Or...pretty much anything of substance. Her crime? LYING. Not perjury - nothing so noble as that. Nope, Martha was found guilty of flat-out, old-fashioned, mama's gonna take a switch to your ass LYING.

If we can let a convicted LIAR like Martha Stewart roam free, what message does that send to The Children?

It's a sad day for America.

Hell yes. Let this sort of thing go unpunished and next you know the President will be lying !

Umm, but just had another thought. If your President does get arrested for lying, please send him to jail, don't put him under house arrest in the Whitehouse. I think I speak for the rest of the world when I say I don't really want George W. locked in a building, bored stiff, where the only entertainment is pressing that pretty red button.
