Attorney: Stanford exec makes plea deal

HOUSTON (AP) - July 1, 2009 Defense attorney David Finn said Wednesday that James M. Davis, 60, Stanford Financial Group's former chief financial officer, has reached an agreement in which he will plead guilty to three counts he faces as part of the federal government's criminal case against the financier.

Davis, who has been cooperating with investigators, is set to make his initial court appearance in Houston on July 13. But Finn said Davis will not enter his guilty plea until a later court hearing.

Stanford remains jailed on charges alleging he swindled investors out of $7 billion.
