Ken Lay Cleared of All Charges
I only heard this part of the Ken Lay heart attack story on Democracy Now:
According to several analysts Lay’s death will effectively nullify his conviction because he is no longer alive to take part in his appeal. Just last week prosecutors filed a motion asking Lay to forfeit more than $40 million dollars. Lay’s estate will now likely be able to hold on to his remaining assets. However, the estate could still be brought to court in civil cases by former Enron employees.
NBC nightly news did a long piece on the disappointment among Enron employees and didn’t even mention it.
Your doin’ a heckuva job, MSM!
