Well, I lost the bet. Martha's sentenced to 5 months in prison: http://edition.cnn.com/2004/BUSINESS/07/16/martha.stewart/

Contras this to Ken Lay. He was just indited a couple of weeks ago after years of investigation. This shows that she should have contribute to the Republican Party instead of the Democrats like "Kenny-Boy" Lay did.

Martha just lied. Her trial was easy.
If having unmitigated gall was a federal offense, most of our politicians would be in prison. :P
