Martha will win the appeal, and all the underachieving class-warfare mongers will wail and gnash their teeth.

Maybe she'll get to work in the kitchen.

I hope she doesn't win an appeal. This is about stealing and lying, not class warfare.

Re:

I saw on the news that there have been over six hundred prosecutions of corporate wrongdoing since Enron/WorldCom.
If Martha wasn't a celeb, would you even care that she was convicted of obstructing a fraud investigation or that she lied to federal investigators?
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Did Rosie make it to all those prosecutions?
To: Bluntpoint
She only made it to half of them but Bill Cosby covered the other half for her.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
she could have gotten off with a $200,000 fine and no jail time,
Martha needs to fire her lawyer for being stupid or hire someone to kick her in the butt.
Her 'gain' from the stock manipulation was $50,000.
The plea apparently would have cost her $200,000 and no jail time. But she refuses.
Per the Judge Commentator Napolitano on FoxNews, she now has a mandatory sentence of at least 16 months prison time (up to 16 years) and around $1 Million fine.
Either Martha got stupid legal advise or Martha's greed made her stupid.

If through the Court House doors the lesbo Rosie fits, then the jury must acquit.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
I think when the time comes for her to go to jail, Martha won't be available.

Either Martha got stupid legal advise or Martha's greed made her stupid. It probably wasn't greed. Sounds more like pride to me. "You can't touch me. I'm Martha!"
To: Reelect President Dubya
She won't win on appeal.

It's Door Number Two, Tom.
She's just too greedy and too important to be subjected to the same rules that we, the great unwashed masses, are.
And the funniest part of this deal is that it apparently was on the table until the second they filed the first charges against her; I read back then that she actually accepted the deal, but at the last minute, decided to make a call to somebody at the DOJ and try to go over the head of the New York prosecutor to get an even better deal!
Things went all to hell shortly after that.

I'm sick to death of watching all her celebrity friends like Dommick Dunne come on TV and talk about what a travesty this is.
They honestly believe that the rich "are" different!

If some smuck teenager keyed Dunne's Mercedes he would be screaming for the kid to get twenty years.

Perhaps someone can recall who said a quote I am about to paraphrase: "I would not want to be judged by twelve people too stupid to not get off jury duty."
