"LAY CONVICTED ON MULTIPLE COUNTS!" r u doing the DU Happy Dance?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

According to Assistant Attorney General MCNULTY in a CNN announcement, Ken Lay was "convicted" on a variety of felonies involving Enron, during trail of this leading Republican.

In other written reports: May 25, 2006 — Former Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling have been found guilty of fraud and conspiracy.

Lay, 64, was convicted on all six counts against him, including conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. He faces a maximum of 45 years in prison.

Skilling, 52, was convicted on 18 counts of conspiracy and fraud. Combined with his conviction on one count of insider trading, he faces a maximum of 185 years in prison. Skilling was acquitted of eight other charges relating to insider trading. That means he faces a possibility of 10 instead of 100 years in prison for insider trading alone.

Jurors spent six days deliberating after more than three months of testimony from 54 witnesses in the fraud and conspiracy trial.

In a separate, nonjury bank fraud trial related to Lay's personal banking, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake found the Enron founder guilty of bank fraud and making false statements to banks. Lake had withheld his verdict in the Lay bank fraud case until the Lay-Skilling jury announced its verdict. Lay faces up to 120 years in prison in that case.

"You have reflected on this evidence for the last few days and reached a very thorough verdict, and I thank you," Judge Sim Lake told jurors.

[natrat]

26. r u doing the happy dance...jeez talk about superficial and ignorant

the justice department made sure the big crimes were not exposed---california had 9 billion dollars stolen from it by investment bankers and energy companies,,,schwarzeneger signed away california's chance at recovering anything. So they had to give up 2 of the rats but the syndicate is still their thanks to the shrewd bush justice department and the people watching msnbc are doing a happy dance thinking justice has been done.
