they are going after the enron men, i know a few have gone to prison already. It is just taking a long time because it requires an army of men to figure out how enron did what they did, it was very confusing i hearMarch 07, 2004 at 12:00AM View BBCode
What's funny to me is that she is going to jail and that she is like the perfect house wife. I wonder how she's going to look after her stay in a penetentiary.March 07, 2004 at 01:16AM View BBCode

I do think Martha Stewart's finest moment had to come when she 'ingested' a whole turkey. People who are fans of the show know what I'm talking about. :DMarch 07, 2004 at 01:23PM View BBCode
Syco, you said in another post that you thought it was OK if the government tried to garner perjury charges against baseball players, but oh, if Martha gets caught trying to cover her butt in an investigation, its sexist. Its common for criminals to get caught in the commision of other crimes in the act of a cover up (think Al Capone's tax evasion). Sometimes there is more proof from the cover up than the actual crime. Martha should consider it a blessing that she wasn't convicted of what she really did, that would have earned her more time in the slammer. Sam Waksal, the CEO of Imclone, who originated the tip, got seven years (in white collar resort prison) for securities fraud. Her broker was also convicted... she wasn't the only one to go down for this.March 07, 2004 at 03:11PM View BBCode
And furthermore, who gives a damn if it's sexist? What do I care why a particular person gets targeted? If the trial is fair and the evidence is strong enough for a JURY OF HER PEERS to convict, what do I care if the prosecuter gets a woody? So long as the motivations behind a prosecution do not affect the determination of guilt, then I really could care less what anyone's motives are.March 07, 2004 at 03:14PM View BBCode
I'm not talking about HER show, Duff... I was talking about South Park... lmaoMarch 07, 2004 at 11:51PM View BBCode
I don't think it was sexist anyways, the jury had 8 women to only 4 men. She and her broker were convicted more or less because their defense failed to make a case for them, instead trying to discredit the government's version of the story.March 08, 2004 at 03:59AM View BBCode
I don't know, I think I'm just venting because, even though Martha was clearly guilty,March 08, 2004 at 05:02AM View BBCode
I'm more than willing to believe that political backscratching has the potential to keep certain "friends" of the administration out of serious trouble. But I don't think Martha Stewart was used as "cover" in that regard. In this culture, time is the best weapon. Don't talk about Enron for long enough and people's minds move on.March 08, 2004 at 05:03AM View BBCode
The fact is that it is EXTREMELY rare for rich people to get any jail time for doing bad things. think OJ. The thing is that there is NO way that she went to jail for being famous, and there is NO way that she went to jail because she was a girl. Lets look up how many women are in jail, as compared to men. Of course men commit more crimes, and they go to jail more. The judicial system isnt sexist. It isnt racist either. More blacks go to jail because they commit more crimes.March 08, 2004 at 05:19AM View BBCode
And blacks serve longer sentences for equal crimes commited by whites. Listen...the judical system is all about juries, and juries are as racist as the society they are made from...and BELIEVE ME...there are still racists in this country. Lots of them. I've KNOWN lots of them. And they're serving on juries just like anybody else.March 08, 2004 at 05:27AM View BBCode
I know plenty of racists, and most of them are black. Blacks may be serving longer sentances for doing the same thing, but that is because it is their third time doing it.March 08, 2004 at 05:36AM View BBCode
I think there are as many black racists as white ones, and neither type deserves any slack whatsoever. And come to think of it, the sentencing issue is becoming increasingly irrelevant because of mandatory sentencing laws. I would still argue that blacks are more likely to be convicted with less evidence than whites, because there are still a lot of places where being black is evidence enough.Pages: 1 2
