There's still the appeals...

Martha Stewart
gets 5 months and a $30,400 fine. The one bit of good news for her: the courts have agreed to allow her to remain free pending the outcome of further appeals. Not that it really matters. The government has already succeeded in utterly destroying a strong company, to say nothing of the money lost by those who owned a share of Martha Stewart Omnimedia (a hell of lot more people than you might initially think). Oh, and those Imclone shares she sold at $60 which got her in all this trouble in the first place? It now trades around $80/share.
Justice has not been served. Not in any way, shape, or form.
