Stewart jurors ‘sure they made right decision’

JURORS in the Martha Stewart trial said they felt pity for the fallen celebrity homemaker as her verdict was read, but that ultimately they were sure they had made the right decision.

"I choked up and I felt my eyes tearing and I was very relieved the judge read the verdict, because I wasn't sure if I would have to do that," said jury forewoman Rosemary McMahon.

Ms McMahon said she looked at Stewart briefly after the verdict was read, and "that's when I just realised I was very upset about it and I turned back and looked at the judge".
