Actually, Marth Stewart was never convicted of insider trading or any securities violation. Her convictions were due to talking/lying to the FBI (false statements, obstruction by making false statements, and conspiracy because her broker also made false statements the she discussed with him).
And that is always the stupidest reason to go to jail - talking to law enforcement and incriminating yourself.
