In testimony Thursday morning, one of Jeff Skilling's attorneys, Mark Holscher, tried to shift blame away from his client and Ken Lay back to former CFO Andrew Fastow and Enron's former outside accounting firm, Arthur Andersen.

A spokesperson in his office says he is not in the hospital but he is resting after having a stent installed in his heart a week ago last Friday. The defense called its first witness Monday morning, Joanie Williamson, who testified her friend and the prosecution's first witness, Mark Koenig, lied to jurors in the Enron trial.
