~A good thing for Martha

In the world of criminal defense, where the first three rules are shut up, shut up, shut up, she talked to federal investigators twice.  In the world of corporate public relations, where appearance is everything, she disappeared for too long.  At trial, the jury seemed to resent her celebrity cheering section—sorry, Rosie—and the fact that her attorney, Robert Morvillo, never let her testify.  That might have been proper legal strategy, but the jury had spent all that time in court with her and had never been properly introduced.  That’s not very Martha.

…savvy investors have long worried about the proverbial question, "What happens if she gets run over by a bus?"
