Star litigator loses his first trial ever

John C. Hueston, the former federal prosecutor who secured the convictions of Enron executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, lost a case in an Orange County courtroom last week.

"I guess now I'm a real trial lawyer," the Irell & Manella partner told reporter Don J. DeBenedictis.
