Martha Stewart should thank Janet Jackson
As Martha's trial finally picks up speed, the Stewart camp is breathing a sigh of relief as the media circus focuses on the Janet Jackson Super Bowl debacle—for now.The media love a villain, and Janet is taking Martha's place handily. Just in time too as the prosecution's star witness, Douglas Faneuil, testified that he passed the tip along to Martha and then lied about doing so. This confession has barely made news in the din of the halftime show aftermath. The Stewart story is not among last week's top 10 news stories. Now, with Jackson getting more coverage than in her entire career, it will stay out of the spotlight for awhile.It seems that many people stopping by here are looking for Martha Stewart courtroom sketches. Well, I aim to please so here you go:
In my opinion, the courtroom sketch artist is either a trainee or she has a less than favorable opinion of Martha. Or there is an unwritten rule that courtroom sketches have to be unflattering.
