According to a report in 'The Observer' UK, Lay is to be declared what Billy Joel once called 'an innocent man'. This is because (a) he is presumed innocent until his appeals are exhausted; (b) he must be alive to the end of the process. In England afaik there is no presumption of innocence upon conviction but before appeals are exhausted, so (b) doesn't even come into it. Perhaps you Enron-haters should have had him extradicted over here? Or perhaps, given the sacrosanctity of due process, you should all hush now and decease condemnation of someone who turns out to be an innocent man.
