Mostly Martha's Rap Sheet

[Cindy C.]

Hey,

Oh, boy.  At first, I didn't think they'd ever nail Martha Stewart 
for insider trading.  And it still looks like they won't.  

But it looks like she handed the Feds an obstruction of justice 
indictment on a silver platter.  When, when, WHEN will people learn 
that once the Feds show up at your door, you can't go monkeying 
around with the evidence?  Man, they can even analyze a document to 
figure out whether a document was written all at the same time or 
whether two different pens were used.

Apparently, Martha's Big Mistake was her secretary had some kind of 
phone log.  The notation in it showed she was told information that, 
when made public, would tank the stock.  So she goes on her 
secretary's computer and changes the note.  Then she gets weak knees 
and tells her secretary to change it back!  So of course the 
secretary tells the Feds about this.  Which proves that Martha knew 
she had done something wrong.  Ouch!  Now why didn't she just change 
it back herself?

Obstruction of justice.  That's the one that gets them every time!
