Martha Stewart did get sentenced to more than 6 months in jail but she was convicted to more than 1 count, she was convicted of 4 counts total, 2 counts of making false statements, 1 count of obstruction of justice and 1 count of conspiracy to obstruct justice. So right off the bat she has a lot more potential prison exposure. She also went to trial, as opposed to pleading out. Taking responsibility and pleading guilty to the conduct as opposed to forcing the issue to trial usually helps you with regards to the federal sentencing guidelines.
