I found this list of charges and the factual basis for each.

_False statements: Alleges, among other things, Stewart lied when she told the Securities and Exchange Commission, FBI and federal prosecutors she had prearranged with Bacanovic to sell ImClone when it fell below $60 per share.

The only evidence that seems to rebut this is Fanuiel's testimony.

_False statements: Alleges, among other things, Stewart lied when she told the SEC, FBI and prosecutors that she did not recall being told on Dec. 27, 2001, that the Waksal family was selling ImClone stock.

This seems hard to prove to me. She didn't deny it, she said she couldn't recall. If that is a crime, then Clinton should go to jail for the things he said in the depo during Paula Jone's case.

_Conspiracy: Alleges Stewart and Bacanovic "willfully and knowingly" worked together to obstruct justice and make false statements in the stock-trading scandal.
|
That is going to be hard to prove unless Bacanovic spills his guts, which so far, he hasn't.

_Obstruction of justice: Alleges that, from January to April 2002, Stewart "willfully and knowingly" tried to hamper the SEC investigation of her stock sale by providing misleading information.

Is this the charge arising from the altered phone log?

_Securities fraud: Alleges Stewart "well knew" her personal reputation was critical to shareholders in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Alleges she made misleading public statements in June 2002, after news of her ImClone sale broke, and intended to "defraud and deceive" her investors.

This seems like a big loser of a charge.
