Martha's Web of Deceit

As predicted here last Thursday, Martha Stewart was convicted for fraud and obstruction of justice as a result of lying about her stock sales of ImClone. The jury reported that the queen of home decorating was done in by a "self-spun web of deceit." And in an interesting note, one juror added that "[i]f they can introduce something new at the appeal, I would be very surprised. I don't see how an appeal will work." Martha, you've been nailed, solidly. Close the books on this one.
