Lay loses it, and seems eager to take people down with him.

Thanks to DeepModemMom for posting this in LBN.

This article is very well-written and really captures the essence of Ken Lay and the prosecutor's dynamics.

Here's one choice quote...

"Have you engaged in character assassination?" Hueston asked. "Are you counting yourself" on that list? Lay retorted.

"I am a U.S. Attorney, that is my job," Hueston replied dryly. "You may call me anything you want."

Lay said he approached Glisan in the witness area when he testified to inquire how he was doing because he knew that he was under a lot of pressure to fabricate a story in order to satisfy the government.

"So you made him feel better by calling him a liar and letting your attorneys call him a monkey?" Hueston asked, referring to a comment attorney Michael Ramsey made to the media outside of the courtroom. "I can't take full responsibility for what my lawyers say or do," Lay replied.


LOL,:rofl:, :popcorn:

Will he talk about gwb, at some point? MKJ
