Three Enron Nigerian Barge Defendants Seek Fastow Notes

In light of the revelations in Jeff Skilling’s recently unsealed brief regarding the Andrew Fastow notes (earlier here and here), attorneys for James A. Brown, Daniel Bayly and Robert Furst — the three former Merrill Lynch executives still possibly facing retrial in the Enron Nigerian Barge case — have now filed a motion asking US District Judge Ewing Werlein to order the government to give them the notes. The retrials are currently delayed while the defendants’ appeal of Werlein’s refusal to dismiss is pending before the Fifth Circuit (earlier). Kristen Hays’ Houston Chronicle story is here.
