A Houston Jury Convicts Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling

After 56 days of trial and six days of deliberation, a federal jury in Houston convicted Enron's two former chief executives. Kenneth Lay was found guilty on all six counts he faced; Jeffrey Skilling was convicted on conspiracy, securities fraud, false statements and insider trading counts, closing the criminal case over the largest US corporate collapse of its time.

The eight-woman, four-man jury returned its verdict on the sixth day of deliberations, after 56 days of trial before US District Judge Sim Lake. [S]
Lay was convicted on all six counts - conspiracy, two counts of wire fraud and three of securities fraud - and separately, in a bench trial before the same judge, of bank fraud and false statements to banks. [S]
Lay died before sentencing and his conviction was vacated; Skilling was sentenced to 24 years, later reduced.
