HOUSTON -- After 54 witnesses in more than three months, testimony ended Monday in the federal fraud and conspiracy trial of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay and former Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling.

The two defendants appeared upbeat shortly after the jury was released for the rest of the week.

"We feel real good about where we are right now," the 64-year-old Lay said outside the Houston federal courthouse. "We think, in fact, in the end we're going to prevail."

"God has blessed me and my family enormously. He's been in that courtroom every day. He has a plan and a purpose in this and I have complete confidence it's going to come out fine," Lay said.

...approval rate into the teens.

will become Marc Rich's roomie in the Swiss Alps. Damn I hate this kind of shit.:mad:

...with corporate criminals.

fuck..god has blessed you and the bushits and no one else..we're all waiting for god's blessing.

he hasn't made any appearances in my neighborhood
From his standpoint I suppose that's a blessing.

living in denial to the extreme.

.

Nothing like finding religion when you are cornered. How obvious. He was happy to take hundreds and hundreds of millions out of Enron and leave thousands who had planned on a decent retirement destitute. Now he claims he knew nothing, like Sgt. Schultz. But he was happy to take those millions then, boy howdy. Too late. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Life imprisonment sounds good to me. No doubt in a nicer jail than Rikers Island, but that's OK. Just put him away. Forever.

his Lord much better.....

:woohoo:

I have to believe some Houston newspapers are voicing opinions on what they THINK is going to happen here. I've tried to keep up, but I get very little info on the Houston trail, here in Ga.

Lay CAN'T say anything but I feel good, that's just SOP. I'd like to know what the reporters who sit in the court room every day are saying.

As an accountant for many years, I'm going to be VERY PI**ED is these two AH's walk away from this disaster!

don't use the Lord's name in vain? I think Lay's remark woud qualify for breaking that one.

the laws dont apply, the rules of physics have no meaning, logic has taken a holiday, and science is no longer relevant.

So in the eyes of Kenneth Lay, he's saved.

Jesus and not just spout off about god blessing him. Did god make the enron employees lose their pensions?

"God helped me screw those little old ladies in California on their energy bills."
"He wanted me to be rich betond my wildest dreams and he didn't care what I did to get it."

He didn't actually say that, he was thinking it.
I'm so sick of Republicans today, I could......well, don't ask.
