Martha Stewart sentence extended
Lifestyle Diva Martha Stewart will spend three extra weeks under house arrest. Stewart, who turned 64 on Wednesday was scheduled to complete five months of house arrest on Aug. 10.
It was not known why Stewart's release was postponed.
Over the weekend, the New York Post reported that Martha Stewart may have violated the rules of her probation by riding around her New York estate on a Kawasaki Mule four-wheel drive vehicle and dropping in on a nearby yoga class.
She is only permitted out of her home for 48 hours a week to work and for religious services, food shopping and doctor's appointments. Stewart also must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet around her ankle reports Reuters.
Stewart "has agreed to an extension of the terms of her home confinement until Aug. 31," her lawyer, Walter Dellinger, said in a brief statement on Wednesday.
