Ink Expert Charged With Lying at Martha Stewart Trial

Wow. Secret Service employee Larry Stewart, the ink expert who testified at the Martha Stewart trial, has been charged with two counts of perjury--for lying on the witness stand at her trial.

The government said it had uncovered eight separate false statements made by Larry Stewart on the stand about two subjects: that he participated in an August 2002 examination of the worksheet, and that he was familiar with a book proposal on ink analysis.

The Government doesn't think it will affect her conviction. We disagree. We'd also like to know when the Government realized Stewart lied.

Meanwhile, shares in Shares in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. (MSO) rose 11 percent today. We got an e-mail from Martha's website a few days ago asking us to let people know how they can help Martha. It was signed by Martha. Here's how:

If you are so inclined, there are some things you can do that would
make a difference not only to me, but also to Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia and its employees, business partners and customers who have,
unfortunately, been impacted by my personal legal situation:

  • If the local broadcast affiliate in your area has discontinued my television program, you can write to the station manager to ask that it be reinstated for the remainder of this season. Several stations have put the show back on the air in response to viewer requests.
  • You can subscribe to our magazines -- Martha Stewart Living, Everyday Food, Weddings and Kids. They remain full of the kind of creative homekeeping and entertaining ideas you simply can't find anywhere else.
  • You can visit KMart and enjoy the wonderful assortment of Everyday products for your home. Our products continue to embody the very highest standards in quality and design.

And, of course, you can keep sending your kind messages to me here at
