Martha Stewart Trial Begins

Surrounded by restless camera crews and fans, Martha Stewart entered federal court in Manhattan Tuesday to face charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and securities fraud. She was followed by Peter Bacanovic, her former stock broker and co-defendant. Juror selection then commenced before Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum.

Probing every possible news angle, the New York Times reported:

Ms. Stewart's blonde hair hid her face as she exited the car, but she pushed it back as she climbed the steps, wearing a dark wrap-around coat, brown trousers and high-heeled brown boots. Mr. Bacanovic arrived five minutes later, emerging from a black GMC Denali sport utility vehicle wearing a green tie and navy overcoat.

The interviews of prospective jurors were closed to the media, however, unconfirmed reports indicate that the defense lawyers were particularly interested in knowing whether anyone in the jury pool thought that the brown high-heeled boots made Ms. Stewart look slutty.

All the news that's fit to print.
