Martha Stewart Gets Five Months of "Home Confinement"

Triggar · 2004-07-16, 10:38 AM

Martha Stewart was sentenced Friday to five months in prison and five months of home confinement for lying about a stock sale.

Just before her sentence was pronounced, Stewart asked the judge to "remember all the good I have done."

"Today is a shameful today. It's shameful for me, for my family and for my company," she said.

U.S. District Court Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum noted that she had sentenced Stewart on the bottom of the confinement range.

What is the good stuff she did?
5 months of home confinement seems like a lenient "penalty"
Hell, I haven't left my house since summer started.

"Prison"

She'll get stuck in some low security place with her own dorm and Sattelite TV.

When she walked out of the courtroom and when everyone got quiet so she could say whatever it was she said before running through the media, I would have yelled "You suck!' Then I would have run away. The perfect crime.

I've got one for you, take your old underwear, cut them into squares, and sew them together for a wonderful throw that's both comfortable and a great conversation starter.
