Kenny Boy "I wasn't there and you can't prove it and if I was I didn't know I was there" Lay and Jeff "Snake Oil" Skilling are once again proving that they're not like other mortals.
There is a tradition in Harris County courts (I don't know about elsewhere) that the flip of a coin determines which side gets which table - the one closest to the jury is believed by many to be the "best" table, and a coin flip is considered a fair way to make the decision.
Earlier this week, Lay and Skilling's lawyer actually filed a brief requesting that the judge skip this process and just give them the jury side table in the upcoming trial that will finally, after FIVE FREAKING YEARS address the question: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED AT ENRON AND WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
In Houston, Enron is a big deal.
So, as Lay and Skilling prepare to face a jury of their "peers" - boy I bet just the thought of considering members of the general public as peers makes Skilling grind his teeth - they have taken another step to show that indeed, they SHOULD get special treatment. After all, they are the Smartest Guys In The Room, right??Labels: headlines, law |
