] Its a sad day for Martha Stewart, her family, her company
] and her fans. We are shocked and saddened by the verdict,
] guilty on all counts. But this fight is not over. Martha
] will appeal, and we hope her fans will stand up to the
] tempest in a cuisinart which has now exploded, causing
] enormous collateral damage to her company and it's
] shareholders. Hundreds of jobs are at stake, and Martha's
] life is on the line for a crime that is rarely prosecuted
] in this manner.
]
] Martha Stewart was convicted for being Martha Stewart.
] This trial was death by a thousand papercuts as her
] entire lifestyle was put on trial with thousands of phone
] records, e-mails, expense reports and press clippings.
] While we respect the jury's verdict, we do not agree with
] the outcome. How is it that OJ Simpson was found innocent
] of murder, and Martha Stewart was found guilty of lying
] about a crime she was not even charged with?

[ God, is this the biggest non-issue on the planet right now? For fucks sake, man, i have no animosity towards Martha Stewart, i've watched her show, and she makes some pretty sweet food, you know, so that's cool. But what the fuck, she got convicted, by a jury. So, she'll appeal, and maybe win. Either way, people take this shit all personally... I think she did some great stuff, and i think we're seeing that she did some shady, ruthless stuff too. I just don't see the emotional investment in it... -k]

Save Martha! For Martha Stewart fans
