The jury has been selected in the Enron trial of Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling. Eight women, four men, and alternates. For those who want the play-by-play, down to the kinds of muffins served to jurors, check the Houston Chronicle trial blog, written by lawyers in attendance.
Lay and Skilling have their own defense tables in the courtroom. The Judge told the jurors,
"We have some of the finest lawyers in the United States trying this case."
The trial could last four months.
The defense teams (partial list):
- For Skilling: Dan Petrocelli and Ron Woods
- For Lay: Michael Ramsey and Chip Lewis
Here is the Chronicle's list of likely trial witnesses. This is a good recap of the prosecution's theory and anticipated defense strategy.
