Martha Stewart found guilty on all four counts

I think Martha is definitely guilty, but I also think she is being used as an example because of her high profile status.

So So Sad!! :( I like poor Martha!! :)

its odd that stealing a 2000$ car can get you what? 10-20, and stealing 20$ million is perfectly alright. Insider trading is a bit harder to judge, cause sometimes is hard to tell what you know and what you're only *supposed* to know, but in the case of enron et al, its much easier... and i'm glad NYSE's got a new head, and that some of the corporate crooks are getting judgement. I just hope that it brings the changes it needs to, because its all meaningless if the song remains the same...

There was a local town treasurer in my area that snagged thousands upon thousands of tax payers dollars over the past few years. His punishment? He's facing 21-27 MONTHS!! More than likely he'll get half that and get out early on top of that for good behavior, what a joke.

White collar crime, the crime that really does pay. Where's the risk? These bums know they won't face hard time so why not steal a crap load of money?

sad but true.

So then do u guys think white collar criminals should be getting the same sentences as rapists, murders, drugdealers, and what not? White collar criminals and minor offenders should be in seperate jails from the hardcore criminals, but I also believe they should have to serve their full sentence.

i think its unfair that you can steal orders and magnitude more than petty theft and end up with an order of magnitude less time...

so do I but it seems like a lot of people discussing it on the news or on the streets want her and people like her to be getting major time on par with the above mentioned criminals.

i'd like it to at least be on par with stealing of property amounting to X dollars, but unfortunately, that's not the case because its not a single victim.
