Breaking the Law
This is great. Always in need of a story, The New York Post reports that Martha Stewart is causing controversy for making illegal jam?
The New York Post, citing an unnamed inmate at the Alderson, W.Va., minimum-security prison camp for women, reported that the guru of good living spent some time last week picking crab apples from trees on the camp grounds and used them to cook up sweet jelly.
"The normal person would get punished for that, but the prison guards managed not to see her," the inmate was quoted as saying.
Here's a theory...could she be behaving strategically? She has a book deal and a TV deal waiting for her upon her release. Why just sit idly by in a corner for 5 months? Makes for a boring book. Making jam sounds like a small story, but it makes for good content. I suspect it is not the only one we will hear from her...if not now, then in the book.
