Judge Nixes Stewart's Bid for New Sentence
A federal judge Monday rejected Martha Stewart's bid to end her five months of house arrest early, calling her sentence "reasonable and appropriate."
Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum said she was not persuaded by Stewart's claim that the punishment was hurting her business.

"I see no reason to modify the sentence," the judge said.
Stewart began her five months of house arrest in early March after serving a five-month prison term in West Virginia. She was convicted last year of lying about a personal stock sale.
Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. fell 10 cents to $20.45 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. They have traded as high as $37.45 and as low as $8.25 over the past year.
