No. The trial you refer to is better known as the Diet Of Worms. Luther was called to recant; more specifically to reject a list of 25 of his written works under grounds that they were heretical. Luther delayed his testimony, in the end stating that he would only recant if his heresy was shown to him through reference to scripture. He is famously remembered as saying "Here i stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen", through it is debated if he ever said this. Luther lost. He was adjudged a heretic, and his books were banned, and an decree put out for his capture. Due to a decree of safe passage to and from the trial, Luther was able to leave the diet. Fearing for his safety, a supporter of his, Prince Frederick, kidnapped him and protected him in the years following the trial.
