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.
