==Stock trading case and conviction==
{{Main|ImClone stock trading case}}
According to [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]] in a federal indictment, Stewart avoided a loss of $45,673 by selling all 3,928 shares of her [[ImClone]] stock in late 2001. The day following her sale, the stock value fell 18%.<ref name="U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission">{{cite web | work=www.sec.gov | publisher=www.sec.gov| title=U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission | url=http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2003-69.htm | accessdate=4 June | accessyear=2003}}</ref>

In the months that followed, Stewart's alleged impropriety drew heavy media scrutiny, including a Newsweek cover, headlined as "Martha's Mess." Notably, CBS anchor [[Jane Clayson]] grilled Stewart on the air June 25, 2002 about ImClone during her regular segment on [[The Early Show]]. Stewart tensely continued chopping cabbage and famously quipped, "I just want to focus on my salad."<ref>[http://www.newsweek.com/id/100619?tid=relatedcl "More 'Ridiculousness'," Newsweek, July 8, 2002]</ref>

On June 4, 2003, Stewart was indicted by the government on nine-counts including charges of securities fraud and obstruction of justice. Stewart voluntarily stepped down as CEO and Chairwoman of MSLO but stayed on as chief creative officer. She went on trial in January 2004. Prosecutors showed that [[Peter Bacanovic]], Stewart's broker at Merrill Lynch, ordered his assistant to tell Stewart that the CEO of ImClone, [[Samuel D. Waksal]], was selling all his shares in advance of an adverse [[Food and Drug Administration]] ruling. The FDA action was expected to cause ImClone shares to decline. <ref>[http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/05/news/companies/martha_verdict/ "Stewart Convicted on All Charges," CNN, March 5, 2004]</ref>
After a highly publicized, five-week jury trial that was the most closely watched of a wave of corporate fraud trials, Stewart was found guilty in March 2004 of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators and sentenced in July 2004 to serve a five month term in a federal correctional facility and a two year period of supervised release (to include five months of home confinement). <ref>"Stewart Convicted on All Charges"</ref>

Stewart agreed in September 2004 to begin serving a five-month prison term while her appeal was still pending. In October 2004, she reported to [[Alderson Federal Prison Camp]] in [[West Virginia]]. She was released on [[March 4]] [[2005]], after which she was placed under home confinement and required to wear an ankle bracelet for an additional 5 months.

In August 2006, the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] announced that it had agreed to settle the related civil case against Stewart.
