Stewart knew of shares' sale, says friend
A close friend of Martha Stewart has provided the last major link in a chain of evidence the US government hopes will convince jurors in New York that she lied about the home decorating magnate’s sale of ImClone Systems stock.
Mariana Pasternak, whose friendship with the mogul goes back 20 years, testified that Stewart confided to her just after she sold the stock that ImClone CEO Sam Waksal had tried to sell his own shares.
