Paper Chase in Martha Trial

One email, sent by Stewart to Bacanovic on Nov. 29, 2000, read: "I've made two or three horrendous mistakes and not sold when I was ahead." Another that same month quoted her saying, "I think it is time for me to give my money to a professional money manager."

Defense attorneys pointed out Wednesday that while Stewart might have occasionally sounded angry in emails, she didn't transfer her account with the Merrill broker.

Due to the length of today's testimony, government attorneys said they expect to close on Friday instead of Thursday afternoon as they originally expected. The government said Stewart's close friend Mariana Pasternak will testify on one of those two days.
