Martha Stewart's lawyers called one witness in her conspiracy and obstruction of justice trial, and then rested her case.

It would appear that her defense team is putting its chips on two squares: First, that the jury is completely on her side and appears unconvinced by the prosecution's evidence and, second, that even if the jury convicts her, there would be enough grounds for a reversal in arguments they've already made to the trial judge. (Here and here.)

Both are risky strategies, but probably no riskier than putting Martha on the witness stand to explain her sneaky behavior and nasty manners.

In any event, closing arguments - if the judge lets it get that far - ought to be doozies.
