obstruction of justice: http://www.nytimes.

martha-stewart-indicted-us-obstruction.html.
Discuss the elements of a federal obstruction of justice case, whether you think the government
should have prosecuted Martha Stewart for obstruction of justice and the facts of this case that satisfied the elements. What defenses could
Martha Stewart have raised to the charge? Can you find other cases with this charge? How were they resolved? Is this just a “can’t get you on anything else” charge?
