JC PENNEY V MARTHA STEWART LIVING AND MACY'S by Aggie Kenny

I had a challenging day in court on my assignment to draw final arguments in
the drawn out Macy's suit vs J.C Penney & Co. and Martha Stewart Living.
I drew and painted 2 scenes of  the attorneys for JCPenney and MSLO. There
ensued a bench conference after which the clerk informed me that I was
the topic.

Theodore Grossman( above) had complained that he was having an

allergic reaction to my art materials. I was taken aback because I use 

watercolor, water, pen and pencil. Grossman approached me and 

apologetically insisted that I sit in the farthest reaches of the courtroom 

and refrain from painting. 

So after that, I could only draw  in the courtroom, and then painted the pictures outside in the hallway. AK

From the New York Post story:

Blame Martha!

JCPenney, whose 2011 merchandising deal with Martha Stewart led to a 19-month legal battle with rival Macy’s, hinted strongly yesterday that Stewart’s company was responsible for the long-running contract spat.

MARTHA ON THE STAND :JC PENNEY LAWSUIT

3/5/13
Martha smiled sweetly at those of us in the jury box as she took the stand. My front row seat gave me a firsthand view of the Martha vibe. Although she was in a bit of a pickle, she managed to be witty, haughty, knowledgeable and combative . AK

She was testifying across the street from where she stood trial exactly 9 years ago in room 110, 40 Centre Street, the Manhattan Federal Courthouse.
