Federal Judge David Hittner has advised the parties in the Fastow (Enron) case that he wants to have a meeting to try and salvage the Fastow plea deals.
U.S. District Court Judge David Hittner told attorneys Thursday morning he wanted to discuss the circumstances of a plea involving Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron, so a plea in another Enron-related matter could go forward. He did not name Andrew Fastow, whom people close to the case said was negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors that could send him to prison for 10 years and force him to pay $20 million. "We are going to lay it all out," Hittner said.
We wrote about the collapse of Lea Fastow's plea deal yesterday.
