Lifestyle trendsetter Martha Stewart is asking a federal judge to relax the terms of her house arrest, contending that her confinement is hurting efforts to revive her namesake company.
Stewart should no longer be required to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, according to a letter from her lawyers to US District Judge Miriam Cedarbaum late on Monday. She also wants permission to be away from her suburban New York estate for up to 80 hours a week -- up from the 48 hours a week currently allowed -- and to be able to go on overnight business trips for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc.
