 She's not free yet, but, according to this story, Judge tosses most serious charge against Martha Stewart. The securities fraud count had carried a maximum prison term of, ten years. But she's still at risk, because each of the remaining four counts against Stewart carries a maximum of five years.
Martha is a big liberal, and there might be a sense of justice in the fact big government policies are now coming back to threaten her, but revenge is not my cup of tea. The threat the SEC is to all decent people and honest business men is a real threat, Martha never was.
 In fact, the charges against Martha are a bit of a mystery according to Jacob Sullum. It amounts to be charged for denying committing a crime you did not commit.
 This trial is not about insider trading, "but the right to declare one's innocence, even when the government later agrees." Christopher Westley says. The real cause of the financial damage done to MSL shareholders were the irresponsible charges of the Justice Department.
If you want to know the real cause of all these government intrusions in business and so-called "insider trading" scandals, see Ilana Mercer's The SEC's information socialism and The SEC's Information Socialism-Part 2
