Listen to this story

No vengeance allowed. That was the judge's message today to potential jurors in the trial of former Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling. The curtain went up today on what is perhaps the most highly anticipated corporate fraud trial of the last few years. Skilling and Lay are charged with multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy in the scandal that drove the energy trading company into the ground. We spoke with Houston Chronicle reporter Mary Flood during a break in today's proceedings and asked her about what's looking like a very compact jury selection process.
