Will Enron ex-CEO Jeffrey Skilling get out of jail? The Supreme Court ruled today on several aspects of his convictions, and it vacated one of them. It's now up to a lower court to review the ruling and decide whether Skilling deserves a new trial.

The Supreme Court will soon rule on whether Skilling gets a new trial or his sentence reduced. Meantime, Fortune has published a sympathetic profile in which he describes three key mistakes he feels led to his conviction.
