Martha Stewart

It isn't politics, but it is off topic. Does anyone care to share their feelings on the Martha Stewart trial? My personal beliefs are that she should indeed be on trial. Of course I think Becanovic (sp?)and Waskal were the real criminals, but Martha was a former broker, and on the board of the NYSE. She knew she was trading on insider information. Similar to Pete Rose betting on baseball, a violation of ethics within the system deserves punishment. She made hundreds of thousands on a tip I, nor you, would get. I don't think jail is necessary, but lying to authorities and a grand jury should hold some penalty in my opinion. Dissenting views?

Jail...for the whole lot of crooks.

Along with Michael Jackson, and a few others that I don't want to waste my breath on.

It's about time these celebs stopped getting coddled.

If she's found guilty, she should be punished to the same standards as everyone else. Too bad she wouldn't get put up with the hard criminals...I would really like to see what she could do with a true jail cell and available supplies. The woman is certainly a creative genius, I'll give her that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah do the crime do the time...what the H*ll is up with Rosie...her public ranting will only make the prosecution push harder to shut her up too.
