The Result
The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Martha Stewart's Halloween costume has sparked a debate that many are misinterpreting. The defense submits that her choice to wear torn clothes and dirt on her face was intended as a playful homage to the spirit of Halloween, not a commentary on homelessness.
What Trump Did
The defense might argue that in a world where everyone is looking for something to criticize, Stewart's costume was simply a creative expression. The defense might suggest that her intention was to evoke the fun and fright of Halloween, a time when costumes are meant to be exaggerated and humorous.

The Supporting Record
The defense submits that Stewart has a long history of promoting creativity and fun in her lifestyle brand, and this costume was just another example of her playful spirit.
