Martha Stewart's attorneys today accused the Government of withholding critical evidence in her trial--evidence that came out this week at the perjury trial of ink expert Larry Stewart. Her lawyers say it could have led to an acquittal. You can read the ten page letter here (pdf.) Martha has new lawyers for the appeal, Walter Delinger of D.C., Marty Weinberg of Boston and David Chesnoff of Las Vegas.
