A defense attorney for former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling challenged Kenneth Rice -- once Skilling's friend and employee but now a government witness at Skilling's federal trial -- with being out of touch with his staff and having his successor question his competency. Mark Holscher of O'Melveny & Myers asked Rice if he had "checked out" of Enron and was spending a lot of time racing cars.
