SB116162095826900947 Skilling Gets 24 Years in Prison 2006oct23
Kenneth Lay died (2006july05) of a heart attack, saving the Enron founder from a possible 20-year prison term and wiping his record clean for eternity. Lay, along with former Enron President Jeffrey Skilling, was convicted in May on conspiracy and fraud charges in the collapse of the energy titan. But because he never got the chance to appeal, he is legally cleared of the conviction. It also makes it tougher for the government to collect the .5 million it claims were the ill-gotten proceeds of his fraud. Lay always maintained he was not a crook and, says one legal expert, "he technically dies an innocent man." SB115210822917098397
