...facing criminal charges for obstruction of justice and securities fraud. Faneuil is the former assistant to Peter Bacanovic, Stewart's broker at Merrill Lynch and her co-defendant in the trial. For three days Faneuil electrified the jury with his tales of Stewart's abrasive telephone manner and his boss's frantic efforts to cover up a potentially illegal stock transaction.
