Fairness Demands
that Martha Stewart get a retrial.
A main government witness lied.
Now I've never seen a Martha Stewart show and I'm not really a fan of double-crusted authentic pumpkin pies with coriander, nutmeg and coarse flour or whatever it is that Martha purveys on her show. But this case was all along a big bag of nonsense. She was indicted, essentially, for defending herself in public (which, prosecutors asserted, helped her stock price, so therefore she was manipulating the stock).
It's a trumped-up charge and it's now clear to what lengths the government pushed its own witnesses to get a conviction.
Retry her, or better yet, throw out the charges.
