The legal questions concerning the estate of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay remain unanswered, but the court wranglings for and against ex-CEO Jeffrey Skilling and others involved in alleged misdeeds at the company continued this week in Houston.

Former Enron Corp. CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who was convicted last month on 19 counts of conspiracy, fraud and insider trading, has filed a motion seeking a new trial or acquittal on all of the criminal counts.

The federal judge who presided over the criminal trial of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay and ex-CEO Jeffrey Skilling on Friday agreed to delay the Sept. 11 sentencing of the two men. Their lawyers were given an extra six weeks to prepare arguments for the court that will ultimately determine how long the former executives spend in prison.

Members of the jury in the trial of former Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, who had been together for four months, agreed to talk with the media about their deliberations on Thursday. They all said they didn’t buy Lay’s and Skilling’s testimony nor the evidence against them.

With most of the journalists and court watchers gone, jurors in the trial of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling begin their third day of deliberations Monday in Houston. However, there is no rest for Lay, who is expected to be back on the stand in a different trial Monday to defend himself against four counts of bank fraud for personal loans he took out from three banks. His fate will be decided not by a jury but by presiding U.S. District Judge Sim Lake.
