Martha Stewart Before the verdict came in I was rooting for acquittal. She is a scapegoat caught up in a political witchhunt fueled by class warfare. Since she was convicted I have had a change of heart. It is a good thing, although I think her son in law lawyer should have been prosecuted too. The verdict and hopefully the prison sentence will reverse a trend that started with OJ and then exploded with Whitewater, travelgate, Filegate, and all the other Clinton investigations up to and including the impeachment. Why bother to cop a plea when your top lawyer could orchestrate a consistent web of lies that would stymie any prosecutor, special or otherwise. No more.
