What did she ever do to you?
Can I ask why?
I was in NYC frequently for catalog photoshoots back when she was really hitting it big, and we crossed paths several times. I can say that the televised persona is/was manufactured, because that softspoken, thoughtful person with excellent taste was not in evidence at all. The reality was rather grating, aggressive and needlessly rude. Even New Yorkers thought so, if that tells you anything. That might help anyone who has cognitive dissonance over the public face and the private behavior.
Why? How did she offend you?
I don't care for Martha, but her incarceration was wrong.
Her crime was talking to investigators without a lawyer.
Why?
You think what she did deserved time in the slammer? When people like Corzine walk around free?
Martha is a great example of why not to talk to the police, and little more.
Don’t Talk to Police

I've got no affection for Martha Stewart myself, but what you said is moronic.
She was convicted under a "novel interpretation of that law".
That means what she did wasn't generally recognized as illegal when she did it, and her prosecution was therefore unconstitutional as "ex post facto".
