Former Enron Corp. chief executive Jeffrey Skilling seeks to be released from prison on bail while an appeals court reconsiders convictions questioned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Skilling, 56, is serving a 24-year sentence at a minimum-security prison in Jefferson County, for accounting fraud.
“Jeffrey Skilling should immediately be released on bail pending this court’s ruling on his case on remand,” Daniel Petrocelli, Skilling’s lawyer, said in a bail request filed Wednesday with the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
