Martha Stewart is probably very glad tonight jail is behind her. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld her convictions for conspiracy, concealing material information from and making false statements to government officials, and obstructing an agency proceeding. At last, it's over, except for being on supervised release, which is similar to parole. I'm sure she thinks it's no walk in the park, and she's right, but it's a lot better than being on an ankle monitor or in prison.

The text of the opinion is here. .

    I don't know Jeralyn, most of those Federal Probation officers are on a power trip the way it is...I'm sure they are salivating on being able to jerk around a well know figure, such as Martha S.
