"Skilling Asks High Court for New Trial Minus 'Tar and Feathers'"

Tim O’Toole comments on former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling’s Supreme Court appeal, in which he is arguing that pretrial publicity in Houston created a climate so hostile that the trial should have been transferred to another city. Such a ruling would be blow to prosecutors, says O’Toole. "It will be very hard going forward to do high- profile trials in the jurisdiction where the crime took place," O’Toole said.
