I have had many friends who have had their lives and careers ruined by lawyers that specialize in perverting the truth. The whole point of the Martha Stewart case is that truth and justice have nothing to do with jury verdicts. Politics and publicity have everything to do with them.

On top of that the judge threw out the charge of securities fraud. She was convicted of: - Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice - Two counts of False Statements - Obstruction of Justice
