<DIV> Yes but I heard a
rumor that the law lied to her under oath also. Is that true? If it is I
think it was rather cruel to her but then again if she disobeyed the law she
knew the consequences of being caught......</DIV>

her picture on the news associated with wrong-doing would have been shaming
enough and that would have been her punishment.</FONT></DIV>

spends time in jail while those more deserving of punishment roam the

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>"Celebrity homemaker Martha Stewart has been sentenced to
five months in prison and fined $30,000 for lying to investigators about her
sale of ImClone Systems stock in late 2001"(CNN).<BR><BR>5 Months in Jail, 2
years probation, and $30K, I think it's a joke and a half. WAY too short of
time in Jail and what's $30K to a woman who owns millions? Then for her to
quote Nelson Mandela is absurd! "Martha Stewart invoked the name of Nelson
Mandela, South Africa's persecuted anti-apartheid hero, saying "many, many
good people have gone to prison"" (CNN). <BR><BR>It's a great example for
the rest of the "world" to see we're not going to tolerate this. But at the
same time I think we took one of the smaller fish in the "cooperate sea" and
made her the example instead of going after one of the monster "cooperate
fish" in our cooperate world.<BR><BR>Nice to see a little justice. Me dos
