And in CROOK NEWS: "Martha's Too Smart to Be Guilty" -Novel Defense (has she ever heard about electronic stop losses?)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Martha Stewart's (News) defense attorney argued her innocence to a federal jury on Tuesday and said the celebrity homemaker was simply too smart to have made the stock cover-up that the government claims. Attorney Robert Morvillo made his closing argument before the U.S. District Court jury that will decide whether Stewart, who oversees an empire of trendsetting magazines, books, television projects and home products, and her former stock broker lied about her December 2001 sale of ImClone Systems Inc. stock.If the pair were guilty, the defense attorney argued, they would have done a better job making their stories consistent."We know they are smart people," he said in a dramatic, folksy style that evoked frequent laughs in the packed courtroom. "If those two people want to sit down and rig a story, wouldn't they make that story consistent, at least on the major points?"
For example, Stewart told authorities she recalled setting the $60 agreement in October, November or December 2001, while Bacanovic recalled setting the so-called floor on Dec. 20 or 21, the attorney said.
