Houston Chronicle business columnist Loren Steffy has discovered that there are lawyers working for the same law firm as the lawyer who represents former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling that are avid readers of his blog about the current Enron trial in which Skilling is a defendant.
Writes Steffy, “Personally, I welcome the comments, even the snarky ones that question my integrity. This is, after all, supposed to be a discussion, and why shouldn’t Skilling’s lawyers be able to weigh in? However, I think under the circumstances, the comments should indicate whether the people making them have any connection to the case.
“By the way, some of you were wondering if prosecutors had posted any comments. So far, I haven’t been able to identify any as coming from the Department of Justice. But as many of you know, the Internet is a great sea of anonymity, so it’s impossible to be certain. For that matter, I haven’t identified any comments from Ken Lay’s defense team, either.”
