So, because Ken Lay is now dead, under the Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals, his ten (10!) grand-jury convictions may very well be considered abated. And now, since he's a corpse, claimants in the case against him cannot seek punitive damages, only compensatory damages. Hmm. Isn't that interesting. I wonder if... no, no, it was definitely a massive heart attack. After all, he was 64. And, come October, he would have been setenced to 30 years in prison. So this heart attack-- the one that saved him from spending the rest of his life in prison, abated his convinction and saved his estate from undergoing massive finacial losses from punitive damages sought-- was just a good ol' fashion coronary failure and absolutely not premeditated or artificially-induced or any other thing, just a random death, that's it, that's all, plain and simple.
I hope Bush is a pallbearer at the funeral.
"Ken who?"
