Conrad Black vs. Lay and Skilling





Enron trial: 10 women and six men jurors

Black trial: 14 women and four men

Defense in the Black trial: "This isn't a story about a theft by Conrad Black, this is a story about a theft from him." He called government witness F. David Radler, the No. 2 man in Black's organization, a liar.

Defense attorney in the Enron trial: "This is not a case of hear no evil and see no evil. This is a case of there was no evil." Defense said that neither Skilling nor Lay knew anything about a conspiracy at Enron. He claims government witness, ex CFO Andrew Fastow was a liar.

Prosecution in the Black trial: "It was theft, it was fraud, it was crime."

Prosecution in the Enron trial: ''This is a simple case, it is not about accounting, it is about lies and choices.''

Sounds all familiar....

Out of control greed for some at the big expense of many.

I hope the nex Prez revise the corporate law to limit their power in business. Corporate business had too much control thanks to Bush.
