Restrictions on Martha Stewart Set to Ease

Unless she gets into trouble with her probation officer again, Martha Stewart will gain her freedom from her home confinement sentence and her not-so-stylish electronic anklet Wednesday.

After five months in prison for lying about a stock sale and five months of court-ordered restrictions at her Westchester County estate -- plus three weeks tacked on for misbehaving -- the queen of domestic marketing should be able to move around like any other convicted felon who’s done her time.

Stewart will still be on probation but will no longer be limited to 48 hours out of the house per week.
