Martha Stewart: Was she framed?

America! America! She never ceases to amaze me. This country has a wonderful knack for staging side shows and distracting the docile american public with issues that are I-R-R-E-L-E-V-A-N-T. I say it once and I say it twice MOST of these trials that you see splattered all over the television is for one reason. TO SERVICE THE DEBT. WHAT DEBT? THE NATIONAL DEBT. Most of Americas high profile cases have been simply to pay off the debt that America owns to foreign bankers. Just like the parking tickets that you seem to get for being parked five minutes over the meter time limit. The speeding ticket you recieve after being pulled over for a broken tail light.   So the next time you turn on a television and watch nobody average joe schmoes hogging up all the pixels on your t.v. screen because of some crime they committed now you know why.  And the latest fiasco to come to an entertaining end in americas latest COMMERCIAL KANGAROO COURTS is Martha Stewart.



When was the last time a person got so much publicity in America for being on trial for lying? If you are having trouble remembering don't worry you are not alone. And by the way with all this hooplah about Martha Stewart, how come we didn't  hear much about those other fellows that were on trial for thier extravagant living. You know, those guys from our favorite toy company. As much as I watched the news, the details of the Tyco trial still seem foggy to me. We will get back to that later. My issue right now is really how the media at any given time can just DOMINATE the court of public opinion. Now I am not a Martha Stewart fan nor do I as a man by any of her products. I recieve no benefits for defending Martha Stewart, but this woman was hung and convicted way before she was given a chance to be proven innocent. And now Ms. Stewart was served with a 5 months jail sentence.   Now she is still a billionaire(ex or current) fat cat that I am sure has had her share of corruption.  I don't even doubt that she was highly involved in insider trading, but WHO WASN'T.  And more importantly why are we hearing about it.  And since we are hearing about I am committed to exposing each and every high profile kangaroo court that pops up.  THESE TRIALS ARE TOO GENERATE REVENUE AND TO DISTRACT EVERYONE.                                                                                                                                                                                                               This trial is full of liars.  The first proven liar seems to actually work for the government.   A Secret Service ink expert who testified at Stewart's trial was charged with two counts of perjury for lying repeatedly on the stand, prompting the domestic diva's legal eagles to immediately request a new trial.   Larry Stewart (who's no relation to the homemaking maven) apparently got a little carried away after the prosecution called him as their "national ink expert," and allegedly stretched the truth about a few details relating to evidence in the case.  Stewart was tabbed by the government to offer his opinion on a worksheet allegedly falsified by broker Peter Bacanovic to back Martha Stewart's cover story that she had a preexisting agreement to sell ImClone if it dropped below a certain price. The so-called ink expert claimed on the stand that he had worked on two ink-analysis studies of the worksheet in August 2002 and January 2004.
As it turns out, Stewart, the laboratory director at the Secret Service, did not work on the studies, according to the prosecutors, who said they were notified of the discrepancy last week by the Secret Service. Stewart was taken into custody by federal agents and charged in a brief court appearance. He posted $50,000 and was released. He did not enter a plea and his preliminary hearing was set for June 10. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines.   Now that Ms. Stewart was found guilty what happened to the "other liar" that perjured on the stand.  See part two for more commentary on Ms. Stewart.  Also check the comments section of post for more replies.
