Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 7 of 22
On March 30, 2010, Brown received a production of 1005 pages of Brady material from Mr.
Stokes.1 Careful review of the electronic copy disclosed that the disk contains highlighting of Brady
material selected by the ETF itself in 2004. The highlighted material was the basis for the ETF’s
“summaries” that this Court ordered to be given to the defense in 2004–over government
objection–after its in camera review. Additional scrutiny disclosed startling misconduct: the ETF
withheld from the court-ordered summaries irrefutable Brady material of Zrike, Dolan, Tilney
and McMahon–that the ETF had itself highlighted in these documents. This could only have
been a strategic and deliberate decision to keep this material from the defense before trial, and it
The conclusion is now inescapable that the ETF engaged in a calculated, multi-step process
to deprive Brown of his constitutional right to Due Process. (1) They repeatedly denied the existence
of Brady material, told this court they had met their Brady obligations and fought vehemently against
producing anything (Dkt.1168, Charts 1, 2). (2) They highlighted only selected material in a
marginal–while working around clear, declarative, relevant exculpatory material even in the same
page, paragraph or document. (3) When ordered by the Court to produce summaries to the defense,
they further redacted even the Brady material they had themselves highlighted and withheld the
crucial facts that they had highlighted as Brady. (4) They egregiously capitalized on their
1
New prosecutors began dribbling out real Brady material to the defense in December 2007 and
again as recently as June 2010. Each time there is a production, startling new Brady violations come to light.
See Dkt. 1168, Charts 1-10. The hearing will expose more. In the March letter, Stokes stated: “The disk
contains scanned copies of the witness statements, notes and grand jury transcripts submitted to the court,
pursuant to its request, on June 1, 2004. These documents formed the basis of the government’s July 30,
2004, disclosure letter.”

misconduct at trial by making assertions that were directly belied by the exculpatory evidence they
withheld. (5) And, to this day, despite Judge Sullivan’s actions in Stevens and “changes” in DOJ
discovery policy, current prosecutors still deny any Brady violation or misconduct here and
The prejudice at trial from the ETF’s misconduct was palpable and overwhelming. Defense
counsel were like “deer in headlights.” In just one example of many, Merrill counsel Zrike went
from being the witness who could have and should have exonerated all defendants (had her Brady
material been disclosed pre-trial as required)2 to the witness who Friedrich told the jury was
“devastating to the defense.” This was possible only because the Task Force concealed that Zrike
knew about the buy-back issue, tried to incorporate the best efforts agreement in the documents, and
that Enron’s counsel, V & E, rejected it because it could be deemed a buy-back and they would not
allow Enron to retain any risk that would mitigate Enron’s gain on the sale.
These 1005 pages of documents produced electronically this March prove beyond refute that
the Task Force prosecutors selectively withheld declaratory, exculpatory statements by key witnesses
with personal knowledge that went to the heart of the defense and exonerated all defendants on all
charges. Instead of seeking truth, prosecutors obtained convictions built purely on hearsay,
the first-hand evidence they withheld. See Chart 1 (deliberate omissions from the highlighted
material); Chart 2 (misrepresentations refuted), infra. These egregious Due Process violations
caused the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of four men who were innocent of all charges.
2
As soon as Zrike left the grand jury, having given truthful Brady evidence which the ETF withheld,
the ETF notified her counsel that her status changed from subject to “target.”

All are now free of prosecution except Brown.3 Prosecutorial misconduct deprived Brown of any
semblance of a fair trial. Brown spent a year in prison while the government hid the truth. At a
Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant. The reason the government so strongly opposes a hearing
on this motion is because it does not want its misconduct exposed–as it has been recently in
Broadcom, Stevens and other cases. Yet, the Brady violations here are as egregious as in the Stevens
prosecution, in which the government ultimately confessed its Brady violations and dismissed rather
than face a hearing.4 Judge Sullivan referred the prosecutors for criminal investigation.5 As Judge
Sullivan’s decisive acts exemplify, this Court’s Article III independence and status as an equal
branch of government were created to protect Brown’s constitutional rights against the government’s
wrongdoing–not to protect the government from its constitutional obligations and violations.
The government’s misconduct violated at least two separate constitutional rules, either of
which requires a new trial. First, under the dictates of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S. Ct.
1194, 1196-97 (1963), “suppression of material evidence justifies a new trial irrespective of the good
faith or bad faith of the prosecution.” Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 153, 92 S. Ct. 763, 766
(1972) (citations omitted); United States v. Andrews, 532 F.3d 900, 905 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (“If the
undisclosed evidence is material, a new trial is required.”) (citing Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419,

421-22, 115 S. Ct. 1555, 1560 (1995)). “The question is not whether the defendant would more
likely than not have received a different verdict with the evidence, but whether in its absence he
received a fair trial, understood as a trial resulting in a verdict worthy of confidence.” Kyles, 514
U.S. at 434, 115 S. Ct. at 1566. “Brady violations are just like other constitutional violations.
Although the appropriate remedy will usually be a new trial, a district court may dismiss the
indictment when the prosecution’s actions rise . . . to the level of flagrant prosecutorial misconduct.
Chapman, 524 F.3d at 1086. Cf. United States v. Ramming, 915 F. Supp. 854 (S.D. Tex. 1996);
Second, the Due Process Clause forbids the government from introducing or failing to correct
testimony that it knows or reasonably should know to be false. Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 269,
79 S. Ct. 1173, 1177 (1959) (noting “[t]he principle that a State may not knowingly use false
evidence, including false testimony, to obtain a tainted conviction, [is] implicit in any concept of
ordered liberty”); Giglio, 405 U.S. at 153, 92 S. Ct. at 766 (The Supreme “Court [has] made clear

“Evidence is material if ‘the undisclosed information could have substantially affected the efforts
of defense counsel to impeach the witness, thereby calling into question the fairness of the ultimate verdict.’”
United States v. Cuffie, 80 F.3d 514, 517 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (quoting United States v. Smith, 77 F.3d 511, 515
(D.C. Cir. 1996)). Brown is also entitled to a new trial and a dismissal of the indictment under this Court’s
supervisory powers. Even where government misconduct is not sufficiently “outrageous” to violate due
process, the Court under its supervisory powers may impose various sanctions, including dismissal. United
States v. Chapman, 524 F.3d 1073, 1084 (9th Cir. 2008) (affirming dismissal pursuant to the court’s
supervisory powers due to government’s violation of discovery obligations and flagrant misrepresentations
to court). “Repeated instances of deliberate and flagrant misconduct justify dismissal of the indictment,”
United States v. Omni Intern. Corp., 634 F. Supp. 1414, 1438 (D. Md. 1986), both “to vindicate a defendant’s
rights in an individual case” and “primarily to preserve the integrity of the judicial system.” Id. (citations
omitted) (emphasis added). Brown has exhaustively set forth the legal authority for (1) a new trial because
of Brady violations and/or under the five-factor Berry test, Dkts.1004, 1020, 1030, 1061, 1160, 1201, and
(2) dismissal of the indictment for prosecutorial misconduct. Dkts. 1168, 1204. He is entitled to a new trial
under either or all of the standards. Brown’s prior briefing on these matters is incorporated herein by
reference.

incompatible with rudimentary demands of justice.”) (citation omitted); accord Tassin v. Cain, 517
F.3d 770, 776 (5th Cir. 2008).7 “Because the integrity of our justice system relies on the presentation
of truthful evidence for a jury to evaluate, ‘the prosecution’s knowing use of false testimony entails
a veritable hair trigger for setting aside the conviction.’” United States v. Quinn, 537 F. Supp. 2d
I. The ETF-Highlighted Dolan 302 Produced March 30, 2010, Shows That The ETF
Deliberately Withheld Clear Exculpatory Evidence of Dolan’s Knowledge And Actions.
Attached as Exhibit B-1 is the Dolan 302 as it was highlighted by the ETF itself. Those
highlights surround–but omit or the disclosure alters–the crucial facts, inter alia, that: (1) Dolan
himself deleted the buy-back language from the engagement letter; (2) Dolan explained his notes
which reflected his knowledge of the deal, the fees to ML, and the gain to Enron; (3) he told Wilson
to make changes to the engagement letter; and, (4) it was his handwriting on the document.
Prosecutors therefore flat-out lied when they accused Fuhs and Brown’s group of deleting the buy-
back language to hide it from the lawyers and auditors. Dolan had told them he did it. Ex. B-1, B-2,
Chart 2, infra.

“The same result obtains when the State, although not soliciting false evidence, allows it to go
uncorrected when it appears.” Napue, 360 U.S. at 269, 79 S. Ct. at 1177.

See also United States v. Williams, 233 F.3d 592, 594 (D.C. Cir. 2000) (“[t]he phrase –
‘reasonable likelihood,’ ‘could have affected’ – mandates a virtual automatic reversal of a criminal
conviction”) (citation omitted). “Napue sets forth a very defense-friendly standard. A defendant need only
show that false testimony was presented at trial, that the government knew, or should have known, that the
testimony was false, and that there is reasonable likelihood that the false testimony could have affected the
judgment of the jury.” Quinn, 537 F.Supp.2d at 120. See also Drake v. Portuondo, 553 F.3d 230, 241 (2d
Cir. 2009) (“if it is established that the government knowingly permitted the introduction of false testimony,
reversal is virtually automatic”) (quoting United States v. Wallach, 935 F.2d 445, 456 (2d Cir. 1991)). This
Court (and the government) relied exclusively on Wallach to deny Brown’s Motion to Dismiss for facial
insufficiency of the indictment. United States v. Bayly, 2008 WL 89624, *4-5 (S.D. Tex. 2008). Hopefully,
the Court will rely on the same opinion when Wallach requires granting Brown a new trial.

Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 12 of 22
In an even more egregious and flagrant constitutional violation, in crafting her “Brady
summary,” Ruemmler further omitted the Brady material the ETF itself had highlighted–the clear
statement explaining why Dolan changed the engagement letter and deleted the buy-back language:
“such an agreement would be improper because such a transaction could be viewed as a ‘parking’
transaction.” Exhibit B-2 [Dolan 302]. And, she omitted: “Dolan’s understanding was that ML
purchased an interest in the Nigerian Barges with the expectation that Enron would help ML find
a buyer for ML’s interest in the barges.” She also deleted the word “subsequent” in reference to a
conversation between Dolan and Brown which proved Brown never agreed with Merrill’s
II. The ETF-Highlighted Production Proves Ruemmler Deliberately Withheld From the
Court-Ordered Summary Zrike’s Exculpatory Statements About The Best-Efforts
Representations And Why It Was Not In the Documents.
The ETF highlighted, but Ruemmler withheld the crucial statement that Zrike made to the
grand jury: “The fact that they would not put in writing an obligation to buy it back, to, indemnify
us, all those things were consistent with the business deal and were not things that I felt were
nefarious and were problematic.” Zrike GJ, Dkt.1168, Ex. F, at p. 75; Exhibit C, infra. Ruemmler
could have only purposely omitted this from the “summary” because she included the sentence after
it on the same page. In addition, the ETF withheld all Zrike’s testimony and statements
regarding the best-efforts assurances and her attempts to document it from nearby pages.
Dkt.1168, Ex. F, at pp. 55, 63-64, 66-70. After hiding the truth, the prosecutors then made
outrageous misrepresentations to the Court and jury that were directly refuted by the evidence they
concealed–including that Zrike was “devastating to the defense” and arguing that the defendants
were all liars because there was no best efforts agreement in the documents and defendants could not
6
Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 13 of 22
explain why. Charts 2-5, infra.9 There is no innocent explanation for this flagrant misconduct, and
it was extremely prejudicial to Brown. Zrike’s grand jury material, SEC testimony (never disclosed),
not to mention her 302, could have been used by defense counsel to prepare to examine Zrike and
to prepare the entire defense–from opening statement throughout the trial. It was the crux of the
defense. Zrike knew everything that was discussed and negotiated, beyond the defendants, and the
deal was lawful. This evidence alone or in combination with other egregious omissions–exacerbated
ten-fold by outrageous representations by the ETF at trial and belied by what they withheld–screams
injustice, and leaves no confidence in the jury’s verdict. Charts 1-11, infra.
III. The ETF-Highlighted Brady Materials Prove That The Task Force Deliberately
Withheld Exculpatory Evidence Of McMahon That Proves Brown’s Innocence And
ETF Misconduct At Trial.
The recently disclosed raw notes of McMahon’s interviews in 2002 exonerate Brown on all
counts. Exhibit D. McMahon was unavailable to Brown at trial (Tr. 5260-61), and the government
made only a four-line, misleading disclosure of his statements.10 As with the Dolan “summary,”
Ruemmler deliberately withheld statements the ETF had previous highlighted in obvious recognition
that it was Brady material. See Ex. D, at 000478, 494, 513-515, 544, 560. The following highlights
and other excerpts from the same notes show that the ETF has known and withheld these crucial
9
The ETF did not even list Hoffman as possessing Brady evidence. The withheld evidence of
Hoffman establishes that Hoffman also saw the buy-back language in the draft engagement letter, discussed
it with Dolan, and knew it was deleted. See FBI 302 of Alan Hoffman, October 12, 2002, Dkt. 1204, Ex. A.
10
“McMahon did not recall any definite push to get the NBD done by year end. Merrill wanted
Enron/Fastow’s assurance that Enron would use best efforts to syndicate or find a buyer for these assets. It
was not unusual for this type of agreement not to be in writing. McMahon does not recall any guaranteed take
out at the end of the 6 month remarketing period.” Dkt.1168, Exhibit O, at p. 7. This disclosure was taken
from the notes of only one interviewer, Stephanie Segal. Exhibit D, at DOJ-ENRONBARGE-000529, infra.
7
Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 14 of 22
Highlighted by the ETF–but withheld: No recollection of a promise (to re-buy) outside best-
efforts promise in the phone call. Ex. D, DOJ-ENRONBARGE-000544 (Alex DeMots). Andy said
– Enron help remarket in next six months. Id. at 000560 (Jim Pitrizzi). In addition, they also
withheld from the same notes that McMahon affirmatively told the government:
• Enron “[n]ever made rep[resentation] to ML [Merrill Lynch] that E[nron] would buy them
out or [] @ set rate of return.” Ex. B, DOJ-ENRONBARGE-000449 (Bob Roach).
• NO - never guaranteed to take out [Merrill Lynch] w/rate of return. Id. at 000493 (Ross
Kirschner).
2. Fastow Actually Agreed To Oral Assurances That Enron Would Use Its Best
Efforts To Assist In Re-Marketing Merrill’s Equity Interest To A Third-party.
At least four separate government interviewers confirmed, and the ETF highlighted but
withheld both the highlighted exculpatory evidence below and the other statements below:
• Disc[ussion] between Andy [Fastow] & ML [Merrill Lynch]. Agreed E[nron] would use best
efforts to help them sell assets. Ex. D, DOJ-ENRONBARGE-000447 (Roach).
• AF [Fastow] agreed that E[nron] would help them [Merrill Lynch] remarket the equity 6
mo[nths] after closing. Id. at 000450 (Roach).
• Andy agreed E would help remarket equity w/in next 6 months. –no further commitment.
000494 (Kirschner).
• Andy agreed E[nron] would help them mkt [market] the equity w/in 6 months after closing.
> E[nron] and ML [Merrill Lynch] would work to remarket for the 6 months after. Id. at
000478 (Henseler).
• Enron would use best efforts to help remarket the equity. Id. 000513 (Casette).
• AF agreed that ENE would help them remarket in 6 mos. 000514. Don’t recall any promise
that ENE would get them out. 000515 (Casette).
• Andy said–Enron help remarket in next six months. Id. 000560 (Pitrizzi). Chart 1.11
11
Contradicting the government’s representation that Fastow told Merrill Lynch that LJM2 was
always available to take out Merrill’s equity interest (Dkt.1168, Ex. I, at pp. 3-4; Tr. 6150, 6264), McMahon
said LJM2 was not mentioned on the call. McMahon “[d]oesn’t recall LJM being mentioned at all”
regarding the transaction. Ex. B, DOJ-ENRONBARGE-000515 (two lines down from highlighted
omission). McMahon “[d]oesn’t believe LJM was ever mentioned on th[e] [Fastow/Bayly] call.” Id at
000530. See id. at 000561 (same). Kelly Boots, who was forced to take the Fifth Amendment during the trial
8
Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 15 of 22
These highlighted yet withheld (and non-highlighted and withheld) raw notes prove Brown’s
innocence and contradict the government’s concocted hearsay case on all counts. Remarkable in its
omissions, Ruemmler’s pre-trial “summary” refers only to what Merrill wanted, and fails to state
what actually happened–the crux of the defense: that Fastow agreed to these lawful, best-efforts
assurances on the phone call with Bayly–and that is all. This is the fact upon which the entire
case turned and what Zrike tried to document. The McMahon (and Fastow) raw notes (Ex. D;
Dkt.1168, Ex. B) contain startling revelations which implicate all of the pre-trial production and
prove its inadequacy: the government concealed the fact that McMahon, the unindicted, alleged
guarantor, told them that no one guaranteed Merrill Lynch a rate-of-return, buy-out, or
specific price for the asset. The raw notes are unequivocal–McMahon, who was never indicted, said
“NO - never guaranteed to take out [Merrill Lynch] w/rate of return.” Ex. D, at 000493. “No
further commitment.” Id. at 000494. It is now beyond dispute that the ETF reviewed this material
long ago, recognized its significance to the defense in 2004, and deliberately withheld it for 6 years.
See also Dkt.1168, Ex. D, at p. 4. This evidence confirms Brown’s “understanding” and testimony
that Enron had only agreed to use its “best efforts” to find another buyer. Chart 6, infra.
The ETF egregiously capitalized on its Brady violations by making at least twenty (20)
representations in opening and closing arguments (alone) portraying as a crime that McMahon gave
Merrill an unlawful and secret guarantee to buy back the barges which Fastow then ratified (Tr.
6157-59, 6216-17, 6527-28). See Dkt.1168, at pp. 28-34; Chart 7 infra. The government was able
to make these representations only by concealing McMahon’s statements, then soliciting, over
after the government decided not to call her as a witness, Tr. 4336, was definitive that LJM2 was not even
mentioned. Dkt.1004, Ex. I, at p. 3. Boots was in Fastow’s office for the phone call. Id.

objection, the false or wrong hearsay testimony of Glisan, Kopper, and other Fastow “subordinates”
whom Fastow had admittedly mislead–a fact also concealed from Brown.
IV. Evidence Prosecutors Concealed Proves That Key Government Witnesses Gave Wrong
Or Perjured Testimony.
Glisan was the government’s star witness in Brown I,12 with Kopper running a close second.
Evidence concealed for years proves that Kopper and Glisan’s testimony in Brown I was wrong or
perjured. See Dkt. 1168, Exs. B, at Bates #000263-264, 349; D, at pp. 4-6; J, at pp. 1532-33; K, at
p. 7189. The fact that long-concealed first-hand evidence from Fastow and McMahon both
directly contradicts the government’s hearsay-only case and flat-out declares as false the
testimony of the Task Force’s hearsay witnesses is alone sufficient to entitle Brown to a new
trial. Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 269, 79 S. Ct. 1173, 1177 (1959).13

McMahon stated: He “reviewed the transcript of Mr. Fastow and former Enron treasurer Ben
Glisan’s testimony in the Lay-Skilling trial, Mr. Glisan’s testimony in the trial of the Nigerian Barge case,
and the FBI’s Form 302 of Mr. Fastow’s statements regarding the transaction. Based on that review and his
knowledge of what actually occurred,[he] concluded that both men testified falsely.” Dkt.1168, Ex. D, at
pp. 4-6. Fastow, too, has now testified that Kopper’s testimony at Brown I was contrary to his own “in many
respects.” Dkt.1168, Ex. J, Newby, at pp. 1532-33. And in the Skilling trial, Fastow said that Glisan and
Kopper’s testimony in the Barge trial was “largely contradictory to my recollection of events.” Dkt.1168,
Ex. K, Skilling, at Tr. 7188-89. The long-concealed Fastow raw notes make clear why their testimony was
wrong or false. See Dkt.1168, at pp. 12-28.

pp.1-4. The Task Force relied heavily on their testimony in closing arguments.14 By pointing to
Glisan’s testimony 52 times and to Kopper’s 27 times, the government exacerbated the egregious
concealment of the contradictory first-hand evidence of the Merrill-Enron call participants in this
hearsay-only case–where life and liberty hung on the words in a ten-minute phone conversation. It
is obvious why the Task Force chose not to have a single participant in the Merrill-Enron call testify:
they all contradict the Task Force’s contrived, hearsay, falsely-premised and falsely-presented
case–and the Task Force knew it. Cf. Dkt.1004, at pp. 7 n.10, 16 n.26.
The government finally disclosed its raw notes of Schuyler Tilney’s interviews, which the
government has concealed since July 2002 and highlighted in 2004. Exhibit F, infra. Tilney flatly
contradicts the ETF’s case and corroborates Brown’s testimony that Enron had only made best-
efforts assurances to find a third-party purchaser for Merrill’s equity interest. Chart 9, infra.
Despite highlighting around certain facts, and omitting even its own highlighted ones noted below,
the Task Force withheld that Tilney told the government affirmatively that Fastow told Merrill Lynch
that Enron “will find a new home” for Merrill’s equity interest. Ex. F, at 000704. See id. at 000681
(“a strong verbal understanding [that] they would find a home for this”); 000704 (same); 000726
(same). Tilney said that “ML had no legal recourse to Enron” and that “ML [was willing to] place
14
See, e.g., Tr. 6159 (“And during that conversation [between Glisan and McMahon], Mr. McMahon
confirmed to Mr. Glisan that he had, in fact, given an oral guarantee to Merrill Lynch.”); Tr. 6218-19; Tr.
6523 (“And he testified that Kopper had told him that Enron promised to do a buyback if a third-party buyer
couldn’t be found, which is exactly what Mr. Kopper testified to.”).
15
The government’s pre-trial, 6-sentence “Brady” “summary” regarding Merrill Executive Schuyler
Tilney (participant in the Fastow/Bayly phone call) omits any reference to the best-efforts agreement.

guaranty’ [reflected in the APR] conflict[ed] w[ith]/his understanding of what would take
place under [the] transaction.” Id. at 000706. Fastow’s representations did not include a
guarantee–orally or in writing. Id. at 000680.16 There was “no legal obligation for E[nron] to do
anything.” Id. at 000727. This is almost verbatim what Brown told the grand jury. Chart 9, infra.
There is no excuse or innocent explanation for the government to have withheld this information.
By failing to disclose any and all of this crucial evidence, the government wilfully distorted
the truth-seeking process. The defense was entitled to know well before trial and to prepare with full
knowledge of the exculpatory evidence, and Brown was entitled to have a jury hear that: (1) the
attorneys were fully aware of the discussions and tried to document the best efforts agreement
but, ultimately, Enron refused even to do that so that there was no possibility Enron was
retaining any risk that would undermine the accounting of the transaction as a sale; (2) the
actual call participants told the government long before trial that it was only a lawful, best-
efforts agreement–no promise or guarantee; (3) Fastow and McMahon (never indicted) both
contradict the government’s Barge witnesses; (4) Fastow’s raw notes disclose that even he told
the government he made only a best efforts assurance; (5) Fastow’s raw notes explain why the

commonplace within the industry, and not unusual. Id. at 000683. See id. at 000727 (best efforts deal). Zrike
302, Dkt.1168, Ex. E, at p. 11. The newly produced notes also disclose that Barry Mandel, general counsel
for Merrill Lynch, stated: “That is why we evaluated it as 7mm investment and prepared to lose it.” Ex. F,
at 000679. See id. at 000705 (“looked @ investment–was ML [Merrill Lynch] prepared to lose $7m[illion]”);
000745 (same); 000678; 000727 (“ML placed $7million @ risk to E[nron] w/no guarantee”); 000743;
000744; 000745. Tilney believed that Katherine Zrike, in-house counsel for Merrill Lynch was on the
Bayly/Fastow phone call. Ex. F, at 000678. See id. at 000677 (listing call participants, including Kathy
Zrike); 000726 (same). Kelly Boots, who was in Fastow’s office for the entirety of the phone call, also
believed and told the ETF in 2004 that Merrill counsel, a female, may have been on the call. Dkt. 1004, Ex.
I, at p.3. See Chart 11, infra.

Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 19 of 22
testimony of government witnesses was wrong or perjured; (6) McMahon declared Glisan’s
testimony false; (7) the attorneys deleted the buy-back language because Merrill would not
participate in a parking transaction; and, (8) Merrill counsel deemed Brown and Fuhs to be
ethical bankers who brought issues of concern to his attention. The ETF’s own highlighting
demonstrates what can only be deliberate conduct. The suppression of each and any of these pivotal
exculpatory facts constitutes a flagrant constitutional violation, directly contradicts ETF assertions
at trial, and could have and should have resulted in the acquittal of each defendant or a dismissal of
directly on Brown’s entitlement to a new trial. United States v. Hamilton, 559 F.2d 1370, 1373 (5th
Cir. 1977) (“Where evidentiary hearings are ordered, it is because of unique situations typically

Brown has requested all of this material, with specificity, for years, while the government
repeatedly and falsely claimed that it had met its Brady obligations. See, e.g., Dkt. 948, at pp. 29-31;
Dkt.1157, at p. 9. See Dkt. 1168, Charts 1, 2.

269 F.Supp.2d 588, 597 (D.N.J. 2003). And the first-hand exculpatory evidence the ETF concealed
left the defense helpless to rebut the government’s distortions, misrepresentations, lies, and hearsay.18
In denying Brown’s Speedy Trial Act motion, Dkt. 1208,19 the Court stated that “it expected
to conduct initial hearings or additional hearings on these motions[,]” including Brown’s Motion for
New Trial. Dkt.1208, at pp. 11-12. The court relied on 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(1)(D), and excluded
“all time between the filing of a motion and any required hearing thereon.” Dkt.1208, at p. 12
(emphasis added). Indeed, the Court went on to state that “Brown’s counsel expressly requested the
Court to set a hearing date for Brown’s motion for new trial, which has yet to be heard.” Id. at p. 13
(citation omitted). The court cannot now, with the other edge of the same sword, deny Brown an
This is far too important an issue to the integrity of the Court itself to whitewash or sweep
under the rug. United States v. Omni Int’l.Corp., 634 F. Supp. 1414, 1438 (D.Md. 1986) (courts
cannot “become accomplices to such misconduct”) (citation omitted). Despite Judge Sullivan’s

As in Stevens, Brown needs discovery into all communications between the government and all
witnesses, raw notes of all witness interviews, including those of prosecutors, to subpoena witnesses to
provide first-hand non-hearsay evidence that the government concealed, to elicit testimony from witnesses
about abusive government tactics, and to subpoena and interrogate the former members of the Enron Task
Force–who highlighted and surgically redacted the original Brady production. Brown is entitled to all this
evidence to understand the depth and severity of the Brady violations and misconduct in this case; including
(1) to determine who made the redactions, according to what principles and whose instructions, and why the
Task Force repeatedly told this Court it had met its Brady obligations but consistently (and still) opposes
further productions; (2) to make known all the details regarding the ETF’s determinations to withhold this
information; and (3) to evaluate the nature and full extent of the Department of Justice’s knowledge and
complicity in the misrepresentations made to the Court and jury during Brown I. See United States v.
Burnside, 824 F. Supp. 1215, 1258 (N.D. Ill. 1993) (government has affirmative duty to disclose mere
indications of improper conduct by witnesses and government personnel “so as to enable counsel to
undertake the inquiry which the government deliberately avoided”).
19
Brown urges the court to reconsider its erroneous Speedy Trial Act determination and does not
waive any existing or further challenges thereto (including as to the “sham” nature of any hearings).
14
Case 4:03-cr-00363 Document 1217 Filed in TXSD on 07/09/10 Page 21 of 22
actions, the Dept. of Justice still cannot recognize Brady material and admit its wrongdoing. As in
Stevens, strong action must be taken to deter the government from engaging in misconduct that
mocks our system of justice. Here, as in Stevens and Omni Int’l Corp., this Court cannot credit the
government’s vehement opposition to a hearing and continued denials of past and current Brady
The AUSA’s failure to be fully candid could have had tragic consequences. The
Court was faced with the issue of whether or not to permit an evidentiary hearing.
If the Court had blindly relied on the AUSA’s representations, no hearing would have
been held . . . In light of all the testimony adduced at the [28-day-long] evidentiary
hearing, it is clear that this case rises to the high threshold imposed for invocation of
the supervisory power [to dismiss]. The Court condemns the manner in which the
Government proceeded, and cannot now stand idly by, implicitly joining the federal
judiciary into such unbecoming conduct.
Omni Int’l Corp., 634 F . Supp. at 1434, 1438-39. If this court has not learned enough to date to
grant a new trial and dismiss this case, it should judicially mandate full discovery, including the raw
notes of all Barge witness interviews, prosecutors’ notes, and all government communications
regarding witnesses, and hold a full evidentiary hearing to seek the truth.
CONCLUSION
As in Stevens, the Department of Justice should confess error in its Brady violations, move
to vacate Brown’s wrongful convictions on Counts IV and V, and dismiss all charges against Brown.
If it does not, Brown’s motions for new trial and to dismiss the entire indictment should be granted.

had looked at the deal and knew of Merrill’s role. Arthur
Andersen wanted the deal to be a true sale and risk to
transfer. The period of time that Merrill remained in the
deal was not relevant to Merrill. These issues were
discussed in the DMCC. Zrike took the lead in the
meeting because it was an equity deal in the DMCC and
she had to present the deal to Tom Davis. Zrike and
Brown discussed the deal issues. Zrike talked about the
earnings impact and Enron’s need to meet Wall Street
estimates. The bankers said that they knew Enron and the
Wall Street estimates. The bankers also said that they
knew that Enron would book the deal at ten to twelve
million dollars. They also said that they knew Enron’s
eps numbers. The discussion was that the deal was too
small to have a material effect on Enron.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge dismissed the ethics conviction of former Senator Ted Stevens of
Alaska on Tuesday after taking the extraordinary step of naming a special prosecutor to investigate
whether the government lawyers who ran the Stevens case should themselves be prosecuted for
criminal wrongdoing.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, speaking in a slow and deliberate manner that failed to conceal his anger,
said that in 25 years on the bench, he had “never seen mishandling and misconduct like what I have
seen” by the Justice Department prosecutors who tried the Stevens case.
Judge Sullivan’s lacerating 14-minute speech, focusing on disclosures that prosecutors had improperly
withheld evidence in the case, virtually guaranteed reverberations beyond the morning’s dismissal of
The judge, who was named to the Federal District Court here by President Bill Clinton, delivered a
broad warning about what he said was a “troubling tendency” he had observed among prosecutors to
stretch the boundaries of ethics restrictions and conceal evidence to win cases. He named Henry F.
Schuelke 3rd, a prominent Washington lawyer, to investigate six career Justice Department
prosecutors, including the chief and deputy chief of the Public Integrity Section, an elite unit charged
with dealing with official corruption, to see if they should face criminal charges.
defeated in his bid for re-election. Mr. Stevens had been the longest-serving Republican in the history
of the Senate.
The smile Mr. Stevens displayed during Tuesday’s court session would have been unfamiliar to those
who have followed him in the Senate, where he had a reputation as being dour and grumpy.
In a brief statement, Mr. Stevens told the court that he had long maintained an unwavering faith in the
judicial system. “But what some members of the prosecution team did nearly destroyed my faith,” he
said. “Their conduct had consequences for me that they will never realize and can never be reversed.”
Mr. Stevens was charged with failing to list on Senate disclosure forms some $250,000 worth of goods
and services he received, mostly to transform a modest chalet he owned in Girdwood, Alaska, into a
During the five-week trial, prosecutors were repeatedly forced to acknowledge that they had failed to
turn over information to defense lawyers as required. “Again and again, both during and after the trial
in this case, the government was caught making false representations and not meeting its discovery
A 1963 Supreme Court ruling, Brady v. Maryland, requires prosecutors to give a defendant all
The Stevens case finally collapsed last Wednesday, more than five months after the verdict, when Eric
H. Holder Jr., the recently installed attorney general, asked that all charges be dismissed because the
new lawyers whom he had put in charge of the case had discovered yet another example of concealment.
During the trial, defense lawyers argued that Mr. Stevens had written a letter to Bill Allen, a onetime
friend and the owner of a huge oil services company, asking for a bill for all the goods and services that
Mr. Allen had provided. Mr. Allen, the chief prosecution witness, discredited that letter, testifying that
But recently discovered notes showed that prosecutors who interviewed Mr. Allen on April 15, 2008,
heard him say that he did not remember any such conversation with Mr. Persons.
Mr. Stevens’s defense lawyer, Brendan Sullivan, told the court Tuesday that he had been blindsided by
Mr. Allen’s testimony about the letter. “It was the most explosive testimony in the case,” Mr. Sullivan
said.
Mr. Sullivan said that had he known of the prosecutors’ notes, he would have been able to argue that
Mr. Allen’s account of the conversation with Mr. Persons was fabricated.
Paul O’Brien, chief of the new prosecution team that discovered the latest impropriety by the original
prosecutors, said in court that “we deeply regret that this has occurred.”
Judge Sullivan named six prosecutors as the subject of Mr. Schuelke’s investigation, including William
M. Welch II, who heads the public integrity unit, and his deputy, Brenda K. Morris. Justice Department
The other lawyers are Joseph W. Bottini, James A. Goeke, Nicholas A. Marsh and Edward P. Sullivan.
None of them were in the courtroom Tuesday except as presences to be repeatedly flayed by the judge
Judge Sullivan also criticized Michael B. Mukasey, the last attorney general in the Bush administration,
saying it was shocking that he had failed to respond to letters from the defense team complaining about

for in the rules of federal procedure. Under the rules, Mr. Madigan said, a judge may choose his own
Mr. Madigan said Mr. Schuelke would “operate under the authority of the court.”
“He will then recommend to the court whether to seek criminal contempt charges,” Mr. Madigan said.

Mark Devito
Furst phoned Devito to say that Enron had an equity opportunity, equity bridge
need, regarding a Nigerian electricity barge. Enron was looking to see if Merrill
would have an interest in purchasing that equity for $7 million. Devito did not
recall the term handshake, as referenced in a Merrill document) and recalls that
Enron would assist with finding a third-party equity investor for the NBD. When
asked about Bayly confmning with Enron a guaranty, as referenced in another
Merrill document, he said he did not recall such a conversation.
Bowen Diehl
Diehl indicated that he was asked by someone whether he recalled F\.~rst saying in
2000, words to the effect: they are not going to get us out of the barges, and that
he might have replied affirmatively.
Vincent Dimassimo
Jencks material as to Dimassimo was provided to the defense in early June, 2004)
as part of pre-trial discovery of government witnesses.
Gary Dolan
Dolan stated that he understood Enron was providing a moral undertaking to find
a buyer for Merrill's interest in the NBD. Dolan stated that the agreement could
not be in writing and that he believed it was an oral agreement that had no legal
significance. Dolan had a sense that Enron would not give Merrill any assurances
in writing and that Merrill would not ask Enron for such a request.
Dolan was asked about a handwritten MemlJ document in which he wrote "Dan
Bayly & Kevin Cox & Kathy Z [Zrike] & EVP [Executive Vice President] who
promises we will be taken out w/in 6 mos." Dolan stated that the word
"promises" refers to the assurances made by Emon regarding finding a buyer for
Merrill's interest in the NBD. Dolan said that "EVP" refers to Executive Vice
President at Enron. Dolan said that promise could mean that the conversation
already happened J not that it was going to happen.
Dolan had a conversation with Brown in which Brown conveyed that he was
concemed with the commercial risk Merrill was taking on the NBD. Brown
wanted to ensure that the deal documents addressed the potential environmental
risk associated with owning power plants and Merrill)s liability issues.
Brown stated that the NBD was not his transaction and he was being stuck with

handling it because the transaction fit into the type ofwork his group handled.
The NBD was initiated by Merrill's bankers in Texas. Brown also complained
because his group was not earning any fees for handling the transaction and that
the deal was being conswnmated close to the end of the year.
The NBD engagement letter was too specific and Dolan wanted the letter to be
more general. As to a draft engagement letter in his files, Dolan made changes to
some ofthe engagement letter tenns related to the deal because Dolan did not
believe that those were the actual terms. Dolan stated that the original draft of the
engagement letter obligated Enron to take Merrill out of the NBD eventually.
This was contrary to Dolan's understanding of the transaction. Dolan stated that
he believed there was no obligation or commitment that Enron would find a buyer
or that Emon purchase Merrill's interest if a buyer could not be found. Dolan
expressed the view that this was merely an oral understanding between Merrill
and Enron that ifMarubeni did not purchase Merrill's interest then Enron would
help Merrill find another buyer.
Dolan did not believe there was a cap on how much money Merrill could make on
their investment in the NBD.
Gerald Haul:h
There was an expected rate ofretum of 13% t015% for the NBD. Haugh had no
knowledge of an agreement between Enron and any Merrill employees to buy
back Merrill's position or of a guaranty given by Enron.
Hughes did not remember giving Colpean a bad review. Later in 2000, Colpean's
function at Enron International disappeared. Hughes recalled going to lunch with
someone from Enron North America and giving that person a good
recommendation of Colpean.
Hughes was asked why Enron would "inherit" Merrill's interest in the NBD if a
buyer could not be found by Enron for the NBD, as has been written by Hughes to
Glisan in an Enron email in May 2000. Hughes stated his group would inherit the
barges because of assurances Hughes understood Fastow gave to Merrill. Hughes
always understood that Fastow gave assurances to Merrill that they would be out
of the Nigerian barge deal by June 30th. Hughes thought that Fastow was telling
Merrill that Enron would do everything it could to take Merrill out. Hughes did
not understand initially that his group would have to buy the barges back if no
buyer was found. When Hughes responded to the Glisan email, HUghes stated
that he understood that Fastow made assurances to Merrill. Hughes did not

Zrike recalled a meeting in Davis' office attended by herself, Davis) Bayly) and
others. rilneyand Furst joined by phone. The participants in this discussion
walked through various risks of owning the NBD. There was a discussion about
materiality and the year-end nature of the trade. Zrike said that she was
comfortable this was not a made-up transaction. Either Tilney or Furst said that
the NBD was not being done to meet eamings expectations. Zrike, when asked
about her handwritten notation concerning the NBD to the effect of "relationship
loan that looks like equity" initially said it was just her jotting down her internal
concerns.

4 carry with it a possibility of jail. Do you understand
5 that?
6 A, Yes.
7 Q. Do you have any questions at all about your
8 rights or obligations?
9 A. No. r appreciate you going over them again.
10 Q. Now, let me also go over with you - - as I
11 mentioned to you, I'm not going to give you all of the
12 caveats I told you upstairs but your counsel has asked
13 me wi th respect to your status whether you were a
J. j
14 witness, subject, or a target and you were told that you
15 are a wi tness .
16 I already talked over with your counsel
17 one area where I had concern with respect to information
18 that we've learned from your interview, but the main
19 thing I want to make sure you understand is you

1 finding a buyer, isn't -- what better way, since frankly
.~.~.
2 we're doing the misaccommodation, according to you, why
5 helpful to us.
6 One would be to indemnify us or hold us
7 harmless if there was any sort of liability like a barge
8 explosion or an environmental spill, loss
of life, or
9 something that was, you know, a disaster scenario; and
10 that was the first thing we talked to them about.
11 The second, it may have been around the
12 same time. You know, we marked the agreement up one
13 time and sent it back to them.
,i .J/'I
l¡
14 The other thing that we marked up and we
,15 wanted to add was a best efforts clause, what i s called a
16 best efforts clause that they would use their 'best
17 efforts to find a purchaser to conclude the purchase
18 with the - - another third-party purchaser besides
19 ourselves and that - - realizing that from our
20 perspecti ve as Merrill Lynch lawyers that this was
21 not this was stil 1 a - - was not a guarantee, it was
\
22 not an absolute, but that at least would give us an
23 angle, it would give us a legal angle to get them to
24 focus on that obligation if, in fact, we saw them not
25 paying attention to what was the business deal.

2 A. ' Yes.
3 Q. When we broke, we were talking about a best
4 efforts provision, among other things, and discussions
5 that you were having with counsel regarding that.
6 Were there people on your staff who were
7 working on the legal aspects of that deal?
8 A. Were there people?
9 Q. Yes.
10 A. Yes.
ii Q. Who?
12 A. There were two lawyers that were involved sort
J ..
13 of al ternating because it was during the Christmas week.
14 One was Frank Marinaro, and the other was a lawyer named
15 Kerry Dolan.

17 your outside counsel?
18 A. Alan Hoffman was our outside counsel that they
19 dealt wi th. I don't believe I ever talked to Alan
20 directly.

22 did you have any conversation either directly or
23 ,indirectly with your staff or outside counsel regarding

17 the answer is no. There was not a discussion that a
18 re-marketing, per se, of our agreement of our equity
19 interest would lead there to be a problem under the true
20 sale rules. The discussions that were had wi th the
21 lawyer, our lawyer and my staff~ were that any

5 A. You know, I cannot -- I can't tell you that
6 that was not a thought. The only part that I 1m
7 hesitating on -- the re-marketing idea, I'm not
S brilliant on either; but I did focus on that.
9 Whether I would actually go - - is the tail

11 Enron to buy it back. I don't know if I combined those
12 two concepts.

14 A. The focus

16 A. The focus I remember is that they will use
17 their best efforts to find a purchaser to close the
1S transaction with a third party, to finish, for a period
19 of time. I don't remember specifically, you know,
20 cutting off - - adding that last piece that you
21 mentioned.

5 A. The "no" part is that they could do whatever
6 it took to get us out of the investment. That was __

4 commitment or representation by Enron to Merrill Lynch

l(
14 A. Well, and also the more explicitly most
15 discriminate has in its boilerplate that it would say
16 that the purchase agreement contains all of the
17 representations which the company - - in this case, Enron
18 and, Merrill gave some representations, too. But it can
19 be, you know, liable for.
20 So, you know, there are statements that
21 ~re made. Representations in the general sense are
22 discussed during diligence that mayor may not
get put
23 into the binding contract.

2 Q. Well, don't you think that some people in the
)
3 DMCC don't you think that what was- - you took away
4 from the bottom-line discussion in terms of -- not the
5 substantive issues that we're raising but in terms of
6 their position with respect to approval was that they
7 were saying both as an institutional matter in terms
8 what DMCC does and in terms of this sort of last minute
9 nature of a year-end deal that they weren't particularly
10 enamored of doing, that they were saying, "You know
11 what? Here's an easy out for us," which is, "You want
12 to deal with this? Go to the right people because we're
13 the wrong committee for approving this"?
)
14 A. That's not the impression that I got. I mean,
15 I think that that would not -- that's not the spirit in
16 which it was - - that the discussion was had in. We
17 talked for at least an hour.
18 Q. Well, why didn't somebody say, "Wait a second.
19 This purview committee is not just debt. The reason we
2 0 came to you is because you don't deal just with debt.
21 In fact, I can think of at least, for instance, two
22 other deals which were supposed to be equity, in

5 meeting be convened to look at this and they stayed and
6 they continued to review it. No one walked out of the
7 room saying, "I'm not wasting my time."
8 They appreciated -- from the get-go I told
9 everyone it was going to be going up to Mr. Davis, that
10 I wanted someone other than the DLT to look at it and to
11 provide input and their issues. They had a chance to
12 read the document.
13 And this was a way for me, as one of the
ì
14 control people, and for our commitments chairman, who I
15 know Mr. Davis would turn to, to get some, you know,
16 neutral, not - invol ved input; and it was done quickly.
