1. Prosecutors: Judge denies Martha Stewart new trial

A federal judge denied Martha Stewart's latest request for a new trial based on allegations that a government ink expert lied on the witness stand at her first trial, prosecutors said Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum turned down the request, said Megan Gaffney, a spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in Manhattan.

The decision appeared to pave the way for the celebrity homemaker to be sentenced next week for lying about a 2001 stock. Stewart and her former stockbroker are each expected to get 10 to 16 months in prison.

A spokeswoman for Stewart did not immediately return a call for comment.

5. Don't worry

When Predident Kerry is sworn in the first thing he'll need to do is pardon Martha . . . she's got to help him get that awful smell out of the oval office.

It's a good thing.:hi:

7. After finding out

a 'witness' was a liar, this is a miscarriage of justice. I hope President Kerry will pardon her.

10. I ain't no fan of martha,but

if a main prosecution witness LYING on the stand doesn't justify a new trial, what the hell does.
