The conviction of Martha Stewart didn't relate to any of the principal claims made against her but rather fell under the catchall "obstruction" and "lying to investigators". That she, rather than many of her much more connected and culpable contemporaries, went to prison is something of a travesty.

You're right, and she should have obeyed what 18 million viewers of this

know: don't talk to police, period.
Anyhow, it belies the notion that privileged white people don't go to prison. I actually know someone who did, and it wasn't for some catchall gotcha charge.
I'm willing to put money on the line right now saying that Lizzie will go to prison.

Snoop Dog loves her - she did her time and did not snitch :).

Five months at the most comfortable female prison camp and five months on her horse farm? That's not exactly doing hard time. Also, Martha's crimes compared to Holmes were a lot less severe. I contend that you or I would have faced a much harsher sentence.

From what I remember Martha was only convicted of lying to prosecutors
