MARTHA STEWART still doesn't understand why she was thrown in jail - two years after serving a five month prison sentence for lying to stock market regulators. The domestic guru can't figure out what she did wrong, suggesting she was only under investigation because she was the first woman to make a billion dollars in America. Speaking to Life magazine, Stewart says, "When I say I really don't know what I was accused of, I mean that. "It was a very difficult time in American business. The clamping down on business behaviour, the intense scrutiny on very visible figures in America - I was one of them, because I was the first woman to make a billion dollars in America. "So I sold some stock, and I was accused of doing something around that sale that really didn't make too much sense, and I had to go to jail because I defended myself."
