HOUSTON (Reuters) - A federal judge ruled Thursday that jurors at the trial of former Enron Corp. chiefs Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling will hear only limited testimony about Enron's manipulation of California energy markets but not about the extramarital affairs of potential government witnesses.
In a hearing ahead of the trial set to begin Jan. 30, U.S. District Court Judge Sim Lake said the prosecution could not discuss at trial some evidence that showed Enron's role in manipulating California energy markets during the 2001 power crisis.
Defense lawyers had argued that material was not relevant to the seven charges facing Lay, the company's former chairman, or 35 charges facing Skilling, the former chief executive, in connection with Enron's 2001 collapse.
