Kenneth Lay states under oath of the Enron collapse that "I'm sure there's absolutely nothing in my life, including the loss of life of many of my loved ones, that even comes close to the same level of pain, and the same enduring pain, that has caused..."
Poor unfortunate soul. I think I'll send him a gift basket.
He denies the charges of conspiracy and wire and securities fraud. I wonder how the jury will fell about that?
Perhaps they will still recommend 45 years in prison, much like Stanley Williams was sentenced to death and executed recently in California. He never admitted to killing anyone and was vilified in the media before his execution of having no remorse.
Lay seems to only be remorseful about losing his company.
Lets compare statistics.
Kenneth Lay: White
Started Enron, eventually defrauding and ruining the lives of thousands of employees and investors, defrauded the State of California and nearly destroyed its infrastructure.
Stanley Williams: Black
Started the Crips, killed some people, sold some drugs.
Ken Lay's fate? We shall see.
