...that its founder has been sentenced to serve time in prison for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements to federal investigators. It took 26 months and a bruising federal trial to break, if just for a moment, Stewart's stony resolve. She stood before Judge Miriam Cedarbaum last week in a lower-Manhattan courtroom, her voice faltering as she begged for leniency. "My hopes that my life will not be completely destroyed lie entirely in your competent and experienced and merciful hands," she said. Stewart asked the judge to consider her decades as an icon to women...
...future of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, the company she founded, will depend on a very different kind of corporate chemistry now that Stewart has been sentenced to serve prison time for conspiracy and obstruction after lying to federal investigators about a stock trade.

Stewart is likely to get up to two years in prison, say lawyers familiar with the sentencing guidelines. Shortly after leaving...
...traded on inside information about the biotech company ImClone Systems, conspired with her stockbroker to lie to federal officials investigating the trade and defrauded shareholders in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, by misleading them about why she had sold the stock. Her perfunctory responses to Judge Miriam Cedarbaum's questions (Did she understand the charges? Did she need them read aloud?) were barely audible. But when Cedarbaum asked for a plea, Stewart's response--"Not.
