People have done much more terrible things then Martha Stewart and have received FAR less jail time. If you ask me they overdid it with the charges and Martha needs to appeal.
Am I the only one who feels sorry for her? I mean, this is ridiculous. If she goes to jail, then all the Enron people should as well. If you ask me, hers is a minor offence compared to what other criminals have done and some of the jurors must've been biased because she's such a rich woman. Everyone is just jealous. She actually climbed her way to the top from being a poor woman. She's living the American dream - why are people trying to bring her down?
i think its buls*it that she only got 10 years... id give her more... nah maybe im being too hard on her. whats wrong with people.
I think the people from Enron are gonna be jailed too . But honestly, it's not Martha's prison time that is too long, it's the other criminals time that is too short.
Isnt that the woman who had 50 million dollars in stocks and sold them 2-3 days before it went down? Well, i'll say its a smart move Bummer for all the other people who has nothing now, but thats how stocks go I got stocks too B)
It's called insider trading, and it's illegal. If you sell them cause it was clear they were going down, it's ok but you can't sell them cause someone from that buisness told you stocks were gonna go down.
