One who believes that women have not been afforded equal treatment and that Martha is being picked on for being successful. Someone who is familiar with her and uses her products or subscribes to her magazine. Someone who believes she has put up with a lot to get where she is and she's been very successful.

Someone who dabbles in the markets, like a day trader and someone who understands how to play with IRS gains and might be more likely to accept Stewart's arguments that the government trumped up charges after failing to find any evidence that she engaged in insider trading.

People who respect businesspeople and admire strong and successful women

Martha suffered a legal setback today over her intended defense:

In a defeat for Stewart, U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum ruled that the defense may not argue that she is being prosecuted for asserting her innocence and exercising her right to free speech. Cedarbaum also ruled that the defense may not ask jurors to speculate why Stewart was not charged with insider trading.
