Prosecutors in the trial of two former Enron chief executives, Kenneth L. Lay and Jeffrey K. Skilling, rested their case after eight weeks of testimony by 22 witnesses before a federal court jury in Houston. As soon as the government finished presenting evidence, Judge Simeon T. Lake of federal district court dropped 3 of the 31 counts against Mr. Skilling and one of the seven counts against Mr. Lay. Defense lawyers are scheduled to open their case on Monday, and they have said they plan to have both Mr. Lay and Mr. Skilling testify.
