Did I not say she was interviewed by the SEC, FBI and USAO? That was when she made false statements. During an interview with lawenforcement and the US attorneys office is when she lied. And yes lying and/or perjury is generally a throw away charge because if you can prove that you can generally convict the person of the charge they are lying about, in this case insider trading. Perjury might be a felony but it generally doesn't get jail time. Chris Webber was convicted of lying to a federal grand jury recently.
In case you're too blind to know the truth, she's on trial for going on television and stating "I didn't do anything" nothing more.
Um, I don't think so, if you read the indictment you would see on page 12 of the indictment that Stewart was interviewed by the SEC, FBI and USAO. Stewart made material false statements.
U.S.C. Title 18 ch.47
Sec. 1001. - Statements or entries generally
(a)
Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully -
(1)
falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2)
makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3)
makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
So she did a bit more than say something on TV.

comsidering the actaul cost of making a microdrive back when they were just 340mb was ~ 80$ I don't think they are selling at a loss now.
