The end is in sight in the Enron Broadband trial
After three often tortuous months, the end is finally in sight for the Enron Broadband trial, the Chronicle's Mary Flood reports today.
The last of the five defendants to testify -- former Enron Broadband Services CFO, Kevin Howard -- took the stand yesterday and will likely finish his testimony today. Inasmuch as the prosecution may begin its rebuttal case today, Ms. Flood is predicting that final arguments will take place next week. As noted in this prior post, this trial has turned out to be a far harder one than the Enron Task Force expected, and the outcome will almost certainly affect the Task Force's approach to future Enron-related prosecutions, particularly the Task Force's "legacy" case -- that is, the case against former Enron chairman Ken Lay and former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling.
