Well, actually, I had been working as a consultant to former companies of Enron, or predecessor companies of Enron and, so, I joined in 1990 to really start our wholesale merchant business.

Jeffrey Skilling is the younger brother of Tom Skilling the chief meteorologist at CW affiliate/cable superstation WGN-TV in Chicago Illinois. Experts believed Skilling's best chance was in citing a parallel appeals court decision that had dismissed guilty verdicts on three Merrill Lynch bankers accused of helping Enron to inflate profits. Skilling's main attorney was Daniel Petrocelli the 52-year-old civil litigator who represented Ron Goldman's father in his successful civil suit against O.

The Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments in the appeal of the case March 1 2010. On June 24 2010 the Supreme Court vacated part of Skilling's conviction and transferred the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. Jeffrey Keith "Jeff" Skilling (born November 25 1953) is the former president of Enron Corporation headquartered in Houston Texas.
