BBC: Key Enron witness 'lied in court'


"A key prosecution witness lied about taking part in Enron-related crimes, an assistant of former Enron chiefs Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling has said.

Joannie Williamson told defence lawyers Mark Koenig admitted he had pleaded guilty to crimes he did not commit.

The defence team has repeatedly claimed fear of prosecution had pushed many Enron executives to plead guilty."

This sounds like a blow to the prosecution?

1. No it doesn't
If it were a blow to the prosecution, "LIED IN COURT" would not be in quotes.

It's a white collar variation on the SODDI* defense.
