Martha Stewart is appealing

Appealing her conviction, that is; Martha doesn't appeal to me at all as you would know if you read my earlier post (Style comes to West Virginia) on the occasion of her incarceration.

Today's story - Entertainment News Article | Reuters.com - echoes a point I made in that earlier post: "'Martha Stewart was never charged with insider trading. But a barrage of pretrial leaks and in-court accusations left the indelible impression that she was guilty of that offense,' her lawyers said. 'Tarring Stewart with an uncharged, highly inflammatory crime was fundamentally unfair; that unfairness was compounded by rulings that barred Stewart from responding to those charges and prevented the jury from understanding what was -- and was not -- properly before it.'"
