Lawyer cites discrepancies in closing argument
Tuesday, March 2, 2004 | 11:10 a.m.
NEW YORK -- The government has wrongly accused Martha Stewart of participating in a laughable "confederacy of dunces," her lawyer said today in closing arguments at her federal trial.
Lawyer Robert Morvillo tried to turn to his advantage a key part of prosecutors' case -- that Stewart and broker Peter Bacanovic told inconsistent stories about a supposed plan to sell her ImClone Systems shares.
"Nobody could have done what Peter Bacanovic and Martha Stewart are alleged to have done and done it in a dumber fashion," he said.
