James A. Brown, one of three former Merrill Lynch executives still possibly facing retrial in the Enron Nigerian Barge case after their convictions were reversed on appeal (here and here ), is now asking that a former Enron Task Force prosecutor be investigated for misconduct on grounds that he wrongly withheld exculpatory evidence and knowingly misled the judge and jury in the November 2004 trial. And the former prosecutor? None other than Matthew Friedrich, Acting Assistant AG of the Criminal Division of the DOJ. Brown has asked Senate Judiciary Committee, the OPR and the Virginia Bar to investigate Friedrich’s conduct, and Brown’s attorney Sidney Powell said that similar complaints will be made against other prosecutors in the case (Bloomberg).
