MARTHA, MARTHA, MARTHA, HERE WE GO AGAIN

"They could be taking a jaywalking case and prosecuting for Grand Theft Auto." Former Gore attorney David Boyce regarding Martha Stewart on the Charlie Rose Show. More and more legal minds are attacking this prosecution, particularly in light of who is not being prosecuted. Like it or not, this is going to be a show trial and if they can get one of those "downtown juries", the kind that let OJ walk, Martha Stewart will be convicted. Minority jurors will hate her, hate her money, hate her success, hate her because she is white, and will do her in. She needs a middle class jury, one composed of people who actually work at good jobs, and the chances of that are not good when a trail might last for months.
