No, I would not wish jail time for Martha. If she is indeed truly guilty, then she should receive some form of Punishment.
Personally, I think the SEC is trying to make an example out of her. You would think they would start with Ken Lay, but the rules don't apply to everyone.
In 1990, George W. Bush dumped $848,000 worth of Harken Energy Corp stocks before the price plummeted. At the time of the sale, Bush was a Harken board member and a member of the Harken Audit Committee. If Bush didnt think his sale would be considered suspicious, why did he wait 8 months to notify the SEC about the trade and then uncharacteristically leave the notification undated? He said the timing of his sale of stock before the price plummeted was purely coincidental.
Guess who was president at the time? Daddy Bush. The head of the SEC was his fathers appointee and former Vice Presidential counsel, and the SECs general counsel was Bushs personal lawyer in his Texas Rangers deal.
