Lay's lies ruined many lives,
and so we cried.
"Hang him."
But then he went and died.
Satisfaction denied.
Damn him.
Now Lay's laid out,
dead beyond a doubt
and so we shout:
"Either bring the lout
back to life
or surrender his wife."
Make her share in his scheisse.
like must us. Uh.

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.
