Martha Lawyers Want Leaks Probed
Martha Stewart's lawyers asked a federal judge Monday to order an investigation into how details of her indictment made it into news reports before the grand jury returned the formal charges.

U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum did not immediately grant the request but said she would consider it.

News reports before the June 4 indictment, quoting anonymous sources, accurately predicted the home-decorating maven would be charged with obstruction of justice and conspiracy but not the tougher charge of insider trading.

Stewart's lawyers said the leaks may have influenced the grand jury's eventual decision — and violated federal rules that prohibit making grand jury proceedings public.

1. I hope it leads back to Faux Fake News Channel & Ruppert
Then I hope that Martha sues the hell out of Ruppert Murdoch and he looses big bucks.
