The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by Jeffrey -Skilling over his criminal conviction in the Enron case. The decision raises the prospect that yet another verdict in the government’s five-year investigation into criminal activity at the Houston energy company could be overturned. Skilling, Enron’s former CEO, was sentenced in 2006 to 24 years in prison for his role in what the government described as a huge fraud that led to Enron’s collapse in 2001.
