] Martha Stewart's fate was sealed by of the testimony of
] her personal assistant and traveling companion, two close
] friends of the domestic entrepreneur whose stories
] convinced the jury she held herself above the law, a
] juror in the trial said Friday.
]
] The juror, Chappell Hartridge, a computer programmer from
] the Bronx, said the verdict is a "victory for the little
] guys who lose money in the markets for these kinds of
] transgressions. It's also a message to the bigwigs that
] nobody is above the law."
