The Chronicle’s Mary Flood reports that Lea Fastow — who served a longer sentence under harsher conditions because of her marriage to former Enron CFO Andrew Fastow — was released early this morning to go home from a halfway house in downtown Houston. Here are the previous posts on the Lea Fastow case.
Mrs. Fastow is the first person in the Enron-related criminal prosecutions to complete her prison sentence. Her husband — who, as with Mrs. Fastow, struck a plea bargain with Enron Task Force prosecutors — is presently scheduled to be sentenced at about this time next year.
