Former Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling declared he was "absolutely innocent" Monday, as he began to testify in his own defense in his fraud and conspiracy trial. "I will fight those charges until the day I die," Skilling said. Although he has faced harsh questioning from investigators before, this is the first time federal prosecutors who have pursued him for years will have an opportunity to grill him. The cross-examination likely won't come until midweek or later.

Former Enron Corp. Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling declared he was “absolutely innocent” Monday, as he began to testify in his own defense in his fraud and conspiracy trial.
The 52-year-old one-time corporate celebrity, whose reputation as a business wunderkind shattered along with the company he once ran, also said he “never … not once” considered making a deal with prosecutors the way more than a dozen other Enron executives did.
