Various

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Heads up, the jury has returned with a verdict to be announced soon.

[EggsAckley]

My money's on "not guilty."

[claudiustg]

Free Martha!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

[Catspaw]

I was just about to post this & ping you.

[Thebaddog]

How much? This was a little quick considering there were multiple charges and defendants.

[Bush Cheney]

Send her away to the big house.... or ...... make her cook for us for a whole year....free.

[Petronski]

Wall Street thinks 'not guilty' and I'll stick with the street: not guilty on any charge (my guess).

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

[1Old Pro]

Not guilty, she has too much money and is too famous. The heck with the integrity of our judicial system.

[dead]

Not guilty, with a delightful smattering of “we still don’t like her” layed out in a wistfully pleasant round of post verdict jury interviews and whatnot.

[Catspaw]

My daughter usually starts her "Martha Stewart Thanksgiving" tale this way:

First, shoot two turkeys....

[Bikers4Bush]

They're gonna get her. My prediction is guilty.

[pete anderson]

I bet they walk her.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I predict 'not guilty due to celebrity' and 'Guilty of cheap scratchy sheets'.

Looks like my brownies are ready. Back in a minute.

[Howlin]

They don't know if it's just a verdict on one of them or both of them.

It may be she made a deal, so sez Fox.

[cmsgop]

I think so too...

[EggsAckley]

Mmmmmmm.........brownies!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I bet she walks and they convict the prosecutor.

[StarFan]

I too believe she will be found guilty of one or two counts. Bacanovic (sp?) will face a stiffer sentence.

[Howlin]

Possible verdict!

[Cboldt]

My cynical side says the verdict will be "Not Guilty."

[Samwise]

It may be she made a deal, so sez Fox.

can you cut a deal after the jury has the case?

[Catspaw]

I'm eating anti-Martha--velveeta & rotel dip with tortilla chips.

[Howlin]

Up to the minute of verdict.

[DOGEY]

Guilty.

[hobbes1]

Dykers Island baby!

[Aeronaut]

It's Bush's fault. Oh, and Haliburton.

[7.62 x 51mm]

I vote guilty.

[StarFan]

A deal? I thought it was too late for any deals and I'd be terribly disappointed if that's the case.

Mini Bundt Brownies with Fudge Filling.

Martha Stewart only wishes she could be me.

[prairiebreeze]

Friday afternoon and the jury wants to be over and done with it.

Not guilty will be verdict I'll bet.

[Unknown Freeper]

HLL, way to be there for the live thread no matter what time of day..

Anxiously waiting...

[Cboldt]

can you cut a deal after the jury has the case?

AFAIK, the answer is "yes." The state is the plaintiff in this case, and can settle any time up until the verdict is rendered.

[1Old Pro]

Not guilty, with a delightful smattering of “we still don’t like her” layed out in a wistfully pleasant round of post verdict jury interviews and whatnot.

Oh no, what to wear?

[Catspaw]

Yeah, you can cut a deal while the jury's deliberating, but it's rarely done. Deals are usually cut prior to trial

I really really hate this time during trials.

[Owl_Eagle]

Looks like my brownies are ready. Back in a minute.

What are you trying to start here?  I'm heading for the shower works perfectly fine.

”Guns Before Butter.”

[Howlin]

So would I; that's part of the talking head speculation going on right now.

[7.62 x 51mm]

And I'm drinking Lime Kool-Aid with floating strips of baloney in it! Just like Scout Camp back in the 60s.

[cajungirl]

I'm going with not guilty,,she is a hag but damn, she has great household hints. And my family always watches her thanksgiving special and laughs harder and harder every year. On one of her holiday ones, she recommends shoveling your walk and leaving 1/4 inch of snow on the walk for the beauty. You can't send a person like that to jail, even if guilty.

[knak]

freepmail me the recipe ........... please

Extra security was seen outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where the trial is being held.

Why? Are we expecting a daring jailhouse breakout led by Westport housewives?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

HLL, way to be there for the live thread no matter what time of day.. Anxiously waiting...

Never letting down my fans.... it's a good thing.

[ShandaLear]

I vote guilty on personality alone.

[Howlin]

That's exactly what is fueling the "she may have made a deal" talk on TV.

Lots of security. Judge not in courthouse......on the way back.

[cajungirl]

well, if you are the defendant, I might suggest something in tan with a brown blouse, plain gold studs and no necklace and no rings with low heels. If you are the prosecutor, black. If you are one of us, basic chinos with a cotton blouse and a nice sweater will do, no heels and no tennis shoes in court,,very tacky.

[Beelzebubba]

Not guilty, she has too much money and is too famous. The heck with the integrity of our judicial system.

Not to mention that she might actually not be guilty.

[Petronski]

Tagline: I got some new underwear the other day. Well, new to me.

LOL [shudder]
