Looks Like Martha may need a pen-pal or two

She got 5 months of time to serve, then 5 months house arrest, a fine and some probation....

Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison, five months house arrest and two years' probation for lying to investigators about her 2001 sale of ImClone Systems stock. She must also pay a $30,000 fine. In a statement after this morning's hearing in New York, Stewart pledged "I'll be back." Hours later, former stock broker Peter Bacanovic was sentenced to five months in prison and two years' probation; he was fined $4,000.

I offered the job of PP to my cousin. I told her that she has so much in common with Martha----she carries the Martha Stewart line of things in her house from K Mart.

thanks for posting Tiger...I hadn't heard any news this evening, forgot today was her sentencing. Ohhhh, where is the martha, martha thread from months back!! *grins*

I think Martha is appealing the sentence tho? Could be another year or so, before you guys get to see her new "Cell" decor range.

appealing the 5 mth sentence??!! puhhhleeeze! ohk--i'm not even gonna go there..hehe

Thanks, I was wondering how her case would turn out.I think they pretty much had to make an example of her.

The newspaper showed aerial pics of her various estates. Apparently, her home arrest period can be at any of them. She has some rather special places to call home!

But the bad thing about the home arrest period is that ugly, clunky ankle bracelet she'll have to wear!

Ankle scarves will become the fad.

Personally I would not consider an appeal on a 5th month sentence. I mean She could make the best of it and teach her cell mates decorating tips 5 months is probaby as good as she will get...

yeh..and let an 'average' person do something like this, probably get a 20 year sentence!! oh well, tis the way for the rich and famous, nothing new i suppose
