Enron in the Courtroom
I was sitting right behing Daniel Petrocelli as he was told "the verdict is in."
I was in the courtroom with producer Juanita Jimenz. Nobody else from t.v. was there. In fact only one print reporter was in the room. Everybody thought the verdict was days if not weeks away. Then the door opened and Daniel Petrocelli who was sitting just on the other side of the bar glanced up. For a second as the woman announced there was a verdict everyone froze. Then we jumped up, followed closely by Petroceli. We rode down in the elevator together. He said nothing. He looked very serious.
It took about two minutes for chaos to hit as word spread. People kept asking "are we sure? Are we sure?" Yes we are. Now we are just waiting to find out the answer.
