Ex-WorldCom Exec Pleads Not Guilty
From Associated Press
Former WorldCom Inc. executive Scott D. Sullivan pleaded not guilty to new charges that he lied on financial statements to secure $4.25 billion in credit for the company.
Six days after federal prosecutors leveled four new criminal charges against Sullivan, a federal judge postponed his trial, originally set to begin Sept. 8, to Feb. 2, 2004.
Overruling government objections, U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones granted Sullivan’s lawyers additional time after they said they needed to review thousands of pages of additional documents.
