Government punishes Martha Stewart and 500,000

Sharpie · 03-08-2004

I have no doubt that she was made an example of - that is how the govt does things. The point being 'that if they will try Martha Stewart - they will try anyone!" She probably would have been better off with not as many women jurors. After all, she was a household word & a role model for women everywhere.... she tarnished that pedistal we put her on. Made us look bad... hahaha

Now, does she deserve jail? White collar, low risk criminals get minimun security prisons. Why should we waste our money? She has already been humiliated beyond return. Is she a threat to society? or do we have to carry on the example - that if we put Martha in jail - we will put anyone in jail? Waiting to see what they do with the Enron execs that ruined thousands and thousands of lives?
