Wait a minute, she's on a show with girl scouts and her ass isn't on the line? Isn't she selling her schtick to girl scouts and the moms watching with them? If she can't act on a tv show used to market herself, she can't act on the stand.

By ass on the line, I meant going to jail. The sad fact is that part of Martha's brand was her being an uptight socialite bitch. People liked that. It made them feel classy if they followed her advice. Sad, I know, but that was part of her appeal to her audience.

My guess is that she didn't have a good, convincing story, and cross would have laid that bare. The issue to me was never her guilt--Im fairly convinced of that--but whether she should have been prosecuted at all.

I agree that she was overcharged and I agree that she was guilty.
