 I agree it's novel, but given how precipitously her company's stock declined after she was indicted (or when it was rumored she would be), her involvement (if any) in the matter was material to a lot of investors.  
If Warren Buffet falsely denied an arrest that could send him to jail for years, I could see the materiality of that to investors in his company.  Martha Stewart, while no Buffet, certainly is runs a company whose fortunes are closely associated with her image and work.
