Volokh - Martha Stewart: Who ever is doing public relations for Martha Stewart deserves every penny she is paying them. Law schools teach that the purposes of sending lawbreakers to jail are to deter wrongdoing and punish the wrongdoers. The press coverage of Martha Stewart's release from prison suggests a third purpose: humanizing celebrities, giving them some adversity to triumph over so they can make a stirring comeback and sell lots of home products. But Are Her Breasts Any Bigger? Martha Stewart, the convicted felon, leaves prison, and Newsweek's cover gushes: "After Prison, She's Thinner, Wealthier, and Ready for Prime Time." "Thinner"????
