NEW YORK (AP) - Mocking Martha Stewart's claim that home confinement is damaging to her business, federal prosecutors urged a judge Friday to make no changes to her sentence for lying about a stock sale.
"Minor inconvenience to one's ability to star in a television show is an insufficient ground for resentencing," prosecutor Michael Schachter wrote in a six-page letter to Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum.
Stewart asked the judge last week to cut short her five-month term of house arrest. She has served about a month confined to her Westchester County estate, after spending five months in a federal prison in West Virginia.
