Enron Victims Look Forward to Justice at Trial

A Very Personal Stake

Cathy Peterson is still angry. Her husband, Bill, was an Enron employee. He was being treated for cancer when Enron declared bankruptcy. When he lost his job, he lost his health insurance -- a matter of life and death.

"We really suffered. We suffered financially and emotionally," Cathy Peterson said. "We sold our home, our second car, anything we could live without we did without, cell phones, newspapers. I learned to buy the cheapest food we could buy. We moved in with my twin sister. My husband was not allowed the dignity of dying in his own home."

Peterson plans to attend the trial.

"I would like to go one or two days just in memory of my husband. I think justice needs to be done," she said. "There are so many people who suffered who can no longer tell their stories, because they are just too broken."
