 HOUSTON (AP) - Before former Enron Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow took the witness stand this week in the fraud and conspiracy trial of his bosses, Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay, he had a certain swagger. Now the 44-year-old just looks beaten.
"I think I said on more than one occasion yesterday that I was greedy," he said on the second day of a cross-examination by lead Skilling lawyer Daniel Petrocelli. The attorney relentlessly shamed the ex-CFO as a liar, cheat and thief who roped his wife into his crimes and watched her serve a year in prison.
Petrocelli's punches left jurors to decide whether they can believe the prosecution's most highly anticipated witness.
