The next trial involving former officials of disgraced former energy trader Enron Corp. is expected to last about two months, lawyers on both sides said recently.

Lawyers for both the U.S. government and the five defendants from now-defunct Enron Broadband Services told U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore they would need about four weeks each to present their cases.

Jury selection is set for April 18 and could last two days as attorneys and Gilmore whittle 189 candidates down to a 12-person panel with four alternates.

Former executives of the high-speed Internet network unit named in the 176-count indictment are unit Co-Chief Executive Joseph Hirko; technology executives Rex Shelby and Scott Yeager; and finance executives Michael Krautz and Kevin Howard.

Former Enron Broadband Co-CEO Kenneth Rice and former Chief Operating Officer Kevin Hannon have pleaded guilty and pledged to cooperate with prosecutors.
