Hello, here I have a sample law essay question. I'm having trouble identifying and spotting all the issues that
Martha Stewart, the heroine of home life, is arrested and charged with the crime of "insider trading" ofstock in Martha Stewart, Inc. In the course of the trial, Martha testifies under oath. When asked if sheever bought or sold stock on the basis of inside information, Martha states: "I have never traded stockusing insider information but Oprah trades all the time using such information. Oprah consults a psychicwho reads the Wall Street Journal and "sees" into the company's secret financial information. Oprahthen trades stock based on this information."Nick Nosey is a reporter at the trial. He knows for a fact that Oprah Winfrey would never use insideinformation as the basis of a stock trade- in fact, he knows that Oprah does not own and never hasowned any stock at all. Nonetheless, he captions his daily newspaper column on the Stewart trial withthe phrase "Martha Stewart Accuses Oprah of Insider Trading". In the article, Nosey merely repeats theheadline and then writes about the lawyer's summations and a description of Ms. Stewart's outfit anddemeanor. Nosey wrote that Ms. Stewart seemed nervous and distracted when asked about the stocktransactions that were the basis of her arrest.1. Oprah Winfrey is furious.
