Former Enron Corp. CEO Jeff Skilling should not receive a new trial on his convictions of 19 counts arising from the once-giant Houston-based energy company’s downfall, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday.
In a 13-page ruling, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld all 19 convictions of conspiracy, fraud and other crimes. It also reaffirmed its 2009 decision that vacated Skilling’s sentences of more than 24 years in federal prison and ordered a resentencing.
