Holy Freakin' Crap

Ken Lay dies of massive coronary.

1) That means he'll never receive his sentence. The guilty verdict will be the last thing in his legal record, with no sentencing, ever. I'm going to wonder for years what Judge Lake would have given him.

2) Jeff Skilling has gotta be feeling pretty damn abandoned right now . . .

While I wouldn't rule out Dubya pardoning Skilling as a last-minute lame-duck action as he leaves office, I think it's unlikely (I would have expected him to do that for Lay), and I suspect Jeffrey will end up doing at least the equivalent of Ben Glisan's five-years-minus-good-behavior. Whether he ends up matching Fastow's ten is still up to Judge Lake and the parole board . . .
