A tight-lipped Martha Stewart makes her way into court Monday morning.
But some legal experts say, she may be forced to testify if
her attorneys can't do some serious damage control.. soon. The
governments star witness has lived up to the title.
---.SOT: Leslie Crocker Snyder/Legal expert (former judge)
he's been an incredible witness and everyone thinks he's done a great
job.
Last week, Douglas Fanieul testified that he was told to pass an
illegal stock tip to Stewart by his fomer boss, Peter Baconovic.
He said the two then "cooked up" a story about the well time stock
sale. Fanieul then fended off questions from Baconovics lawyers with
ease.
---.
SOT: Crocker Snyder
They really haven't made any in-roads on his testimony, he's been cool,
calm well prepared...(and amusing even)
---.
Now, Stewart's camp will try to do some serious damage control.
Attorney Robert Morvillo may try to distance Stewart from her former
stockbroker and co-defendant Peter Baconovic. (wild line: is trying to
distance)
---.
SOT: Crocker Snyder
he has to make it look like maybe Bacanovic was guilty but Stewart
really didn't know all this. Incidentally, I think that is going
to be a very tough job.
---.
Bridge: Even tougher...deciding whether or not to put Martha Stewart on
the stand. If her attorney can't take the shine off the governments star
witness..she may need to testify and that could be recipe for disaster.
---.
SOT Crocker Snyder.
Because we don't know how she is going to hold up, and he doesn't
either, whether she gets arrogant or angry under cross
examination

It may be up to the most famous homemaker in America to polish her own
image... on the witness stand - hoping she'll be the key ingedient to
stop charges from sticking. Sharyn Alfonsi/CBS News, NY>
