NEW YORK - Martha Stewart will not take the stand in her own defense at her stock-fraud trial, her lawyer said Tuesday.
Lawyer Robert Morvillo said Stewart's defense team would call just one witness - a former lawyer who attended an interview she gave to investigators in 2002.
That witness is expected to testify Wednesday morning.
Lawyers for Stewart's former stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, presented their last witness Tuesday and will rest their case Wednesday as well.
