Martha Stewart free again?

[mercyme]

Martha Stewart was granted her request for a judge to reconsider her sentence with the option to change it. The remainder of her sentence, 5 months house arrest with 48 hours a week freedom for work, could be dismissed and she will be a free woman.

Maybe we can get her to come redecorate Elvis' Bed and Breakfast. mercyme!

I wonder if she has a tennis-styled security anklet? ;D
She already worked out of her house for her TV show, it won't be that big a deal.

I do wonder if they installed systems in all her houses, or just one?

Stewart was sentenced to a two-year term of supervised release, five months of which to be served in home confinement. She can return to work, start drawing her $900,000 salary again and even throw lavish house parties — as long as she doesn't invite any criminals. She must wear an electronic anklet to allow authorities to monitor her movements as she's not allowed to be away from her house for more than 48 hours per week.

The homemaking maven left the women's prison in Alderson, W.Va., at 12:30 a.m. Friday and headed to a nearby airport, where she smiled, waved to supporters and boarded a private jet for the hour flight to New York.

Gone were her prison khakis: A slim-looking Stewart was dressed in a gray-and-white poncho, dark jeans and ankle boots.

Stewart was driven to her Westchester County estate in the rolling horse country 40 miles north of midtown Manhattan at about 2 a.m.

Stewart, 63, who also has homes in Connecticut, Maine and the Hamptons, chose the Katonah estate, which she bought in 2000 for $16 million, to be her prison away from prison until August.

The entire juicy story mercyme!

What a prison to "have" to be confined to..
I'll swap with her if they'll let me..of course I would like to still be able to own guns and vote...what a sucker!

[Pontotocmom]

wittzo, felons can vote. I thought they couldn't but they can in Pontotoc.

[wittzo]

Ahh, I did a little research, some states allow state felons to vote. Was Stewart a Federal felon or just a state felon?

Either way, it cost her a lot more than she gained. She'll be ridiculed on mass markets for the rest of her life. Imagine how many jokes about her are in her Spam box?

[mercyme]

I haven't been to a K-Mart for a while, is her line of "home accessories" still sold there? mercyme!

[wittzo]

I think it got moved to the hardware department, it's weird to see cake making supplies next to hacksaw blades, but it makes sense in her case. ;D
