HOUSTON, April 21 (Reuters) - Prosecutors charged on Wednesday that former Enron chief executive Jeff Skilling broke the terms of his $5 million bond during a bizarre alcohol-fueled fracas in New York earlier this month.

The court filing says Skilling's blood alcohol level was 0.19 -- more than twice the legal limit in most U.S. states -- when police sent him to the hospital at 4 a.m. on April 9.

Officers described Skilling as "uncooperative and intoxicated" and deemed him "an emotionally disturbed person" because he was accusing bar patrons of being undercover agents for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"At one point, Skilling went to the middle of the street, put his hands behind his back and began talking to the sky, asking if FBI cameras were capturing what was happening," the motion says.<snip>

My heart bleeds for this one

The strange and convenient death of J. Clifford Baxter—Enron executive found shot to death.

Without anything that can be called a serious investigation, local authorities in a wealthy Houston suburb have whitewashed the death of former Enron vice chairman J. Clifford Baxter, calling it a suicide. Baxter, 43, was found shot to death in his Mercedes Benz in the early hours of Friday morning, January 25, near his home in Sugar Land.


Baxter’s body was discovered inside his Mercedes Benz, which was parked in a turnaround on a street near his home. Officials in Sugar Land moved swiftly to label Baxter’s death a suicide. Local Justice of the Peace Jim Richard initially declared that Baxter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and no further inquiry was required. But within hours he reversed himself, citing the intense public interest in the death, and ordered an autopsy.


Harris County Medical Examiner Joye Carter conducted the autopsy and found the cause of death to be suicide by a “penetrating gunshot to the head.” The weapon was a .38 caliber revolver which was found in Baxter’s car, next to his body.

among other things,

"t took Dr. Carter 23 days to rule that the (drowned by their mother in Houston) Yates children had been drowned, but she was able to rule Cliff Baxter's death a suicide within 24 hours. In fact, she ruled Cliff Baxter's death a suicide before she even submitted the toxicology tests. The toxicology tests were not submitted until January 26, 2002."
