Jury Deliberates in Enterasys Trial

By Mark Bevis on Tuesday, December 12, 2006.

Jury deliberations continued today in Concord in the Federal fraud trial of former Enterasys executives.

Currently based in Andover, Massachusetts, Enterasys was the chief spin-off of Cabletron Systems, one of the state's largest employers, cofounded by former Governor Craig Benson.

The five former executives, Robert Gagalis of Rye, Bruce Kay of Yarmouth, Maine, Irish national Jerry Shanahan, Robert Barber of Durham and David Boey of Atlanta, Georgia are accused of scheming to inflate company revenues.

Reporter Bob Sanders has been following this story for the New Hampshire Business Review.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that this story has been complex from the very beginning.
