Guilty on All Counts
Wow. Thursday I was in New York, within striking distance of the courthouse. And the verdict came in while I was flying home today.Martha Stewart. Guilty.
It was good to see that Martha Stewart's public relations camp was ready for either scenario. Her response to the verdict was almost instantly posted to her Web site. This becomes an instant source for news stories, getting Martha's point across without Martha having to field any questions from the media. It will be interesting to see MSLO's response. They too were preparing for either scenario.
This is FAR from over. The guilty verdict kicks the media circus into gear while we wait for the sentencing. Then the appeals will get underway.
"We've only just begun..."
