5 months
2 years probation
$30,000 fine

So what do you think?
Too much? Too easy? About just right?

My opinion is that it probably was about right.
They had to do something after all the stink & make some kind of an example...

But, all of that for lying to the feds & losing money on a stock? ahahahahaha

how long before she releases the book?!

She's got 5 months of peace and quiet to write it all down ;-)

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and fined $30,000 Friday for lying to investigators about her sale of ImClone Systems stock in late 2001.

Federal Judge Miriam Cedarbaum also ordered that Stewart get five months of home confinement and two years of supervised probation after she is released .

But Stewart will not be heading to prison immediately since the judge issued a stay delaying the sentence while Stewart's lawyers file an expected appeal.

So it appears she gets a 10 month sentence....5 months in prision, 5 months of house arrest, a $30K fine, and two years probabtion.

Hmmm another bet I should have taken with Serge...
