Differences have been worked out and both Andrew and Lea Fastow are expected to plead guilty Wednesday in Enron cases. Mrs. Fastow's original deal called for a five month prison sentence, followed by five months of house arrest, but the Judge said he would not agree to be bound by that amount of time without first reviewing a pre-sentence report.
It appears Lea Fastow has now agreed to go ahead and submit to the pre-sentence report and hope Hittner decides to sentence her as the government and her attorneys agreed. Lawyers in the case have indicated the likely range of punishment for her one tax offense would be 10 months to 16 months in prison. Andrew Fastow's deal is for a 10-year prison term.
