What's going to happen to Martha Stewart?

Asked in downtown Mountain View. Photos and interviews by Dan Stapleton.

"I think she's going to jail, but probably just for a few months. She did something wrong but other famous people have done worse things and gotten away with it. O.J. Simpson, for example." Victor Chong, Los Altos

"I think she'll probably go to jail, but not for very long. And then if she's wise, she'll take her money and live quietly in Connecticut and let her company thrive without her."
Erica Engin, Mountain View

"I feel sorry for the lady, but she's a little greedy, and that's what got her in trouble. I don't think she should go to jail. There are a lot of worse criminals that should, but in her case a fine would do justice."
Blaise Hoang, Hayward

"I read that she's going to appeal, but she's probably going to jail. She lied, and she was trying to cover it up."
Jennifer Kim, San Jose

"I don't think she's going to jail but I think she's going to get probation or something. They're just making a scapegoat out of her."
Melodie Cheney, Palo Alto
