Skilling's attorney says they'll continue "to fight the good fight."

[Guaranteed]

ROFL!

Oh, and they "have just begun to fight."

How heroic. Hemingway would have been proud.

1. I Screamed At My TV " Dan He Is A Convicted Thief Fuck Your Fight"

Fuck them all. Enron was at the beginning of the 6 year fucking of America. Let us hope this is the beginning of the end for ALL of these Bush buddy assfucks. Release the transcripts of the Lay, Arnold, Cheney meeting in CA...NOW!

2. What they said "We have just begun to fight!"

What they mean "We have just begun to fight DIRTY!!!)I'd love to see what their back-channel communictions look like today....

3. Aunt Millie says,

cram it Skilling (and your high priced lawyers too).

[Vinca]

4. From what country will he be fighting from?

Just wondering. These guys probably have cash stashed all over the planet and a few bucks to a dictator would let them into a country without a passport. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life in prison if I had resources available to "disappear."

[Guaranteed]

5. Or he'll pay off the corporate prison to pretend that

he's actually staying there.

6. If I had been paying a lawyer millions of dollars over the past 4-5 years

and then was found guilty and heard that lawyer say, "we have just begun to fight!" I would kick his ass in public on tv. "What the hell have you BEEN doing these past years while you were taking my money, you sob?"

7. Out on bail pending appeal

these scumsuckers will be living the good life for many more months....and then....cough, pardon me, cough

[Guaranteed]

8. I think the judge let him out to get his life in order, and say goodbye,

because it sounds as if he's going to put them away for the rest of their lives.

[Jacobin]

10. That's NOT how it works

They get to stay OUT OF JAIL, pending appeal, which takes at least 18 months.

[Guaranteed]

12. They're getting sentenced on Sept 11th, and no one knows

if they're going straight to jail at that point. I don't know who told you that they get to stay out of jail until their appeals are up.

Like I said, I think the judge let them out until the sentencing because, come Sept. 11th, they're never going to see freedom again.

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. The expert interviewed by CNN seemed to suggest that it wasn't

a given that they would be granted bail. Or did I mishear that?

[Guaranteed]

15. They've been let out until the sentencing in September.

No one is sure after that.

[Joe Chi Minh]

9. It seems a mite late to be just "beginning", doesn't it?

Boy, those lawyers of theirs must feel pretty insulted! But well-paid.

[Gin]

13. I heard an attorney on TV say the verdict could be reversed on appeal..

particularly for Skilling.

[Joe Chi Minh]

16. I heard one say it was most unlikely. A very rare occurrence -

particularly, when the evidence is so overwhelming.

[karlrschneider]

17. Did he say what grounds for an appeal might be proposed?

...

[Joe Chi Minh]

18. The one I was referring to said that the only likely one, the one

they always tend to try - as a last resort, I suppose - is the jury. They will try to impugn the impartiality of jurors. It is unlikely to be successful, it's such a water-tight, bomb-proof, 'open and shut' case, and the jurors demonstrated by their dismissals of some of the charges that they had studied each case carefully, on the basis of the evidence. They are my words. He said 'closed case', but evidently meant 'open and shut case'.

11. as long as Skilling has $$$$, the "good fight" goes forward
