Breaking NEWS Martha to be released

And I strongly disagree with the premise that poor Martha was targeted unfairly. She's not the only one to go down in the Imclone case, you just don't hear about the other defendants who also did time (like Imclone's CEO, Sam Waksal, or the stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic). You also don't hear about the other insider trading busts. You just hear about this one because a big name was involved and the media swarms all over a fallen star.

I will not say that the government is perfect. However, I will say that law enforcement (be it at a national, state, or local level) is, overall, good, fair and effective with what they have to work with. No, it is not perfect (otherwise OJ would not be free). Yes, there are some PEOPLE who are ineffective, dishonest, racist, and just plain corrupt. (And I would love to respond to the DWB charge mentioned, but I don't want to go OT too much). But I believe the system, overall, is good.

I have yet to see or hear ANY evidence that Martha was "unfairly" targeted.
