Martha Stewart's confinement extended
Wednesday, August 3, 2005


WHITE PLAINS, New York (AP) -- Martha Stewart's release from home confinement and her electronic anklet has been delayed three weeks to the end of the month, her lawyer said Wednesday.

Attorney Walter Dellinger said in a one-sentence letter that the home-and-hearth marketing queen "has agreed to an extension of the terms of her home confinement until Aug. 31."

Those conditions include staying inside her home north of New York City except for 48 hours a week of employment, food shopping, doctor appointments and church. And Stewart must always wear the anklet, about which she has repeatedly complained, saying it irritates her skin....

It wasn't revealed what Stewart did to earn the extra three weeks of confinement. Dellinger's assistant, Ann Kienlen, said he would not elaborate beyond his one-sentence announcement.

Stewart's release from the anklet and home confinement had been expected August 10. Her original five-month confinement sentence followed a five-month prison term for lying about a stock sale.

that she could take it off.

3. From the article --

"Stewart even boasted once that she had learned from the Internet how to remove the transmitter, although probation officials said she never did."
