finally some satisfaction

First Richard Scrushy from HealthSouth got away with the crimes he committed. Then Michael Jackson. Other than the Kozlowski/Schwartz Tyco case in January, it hasnt been a good year for high-profile trials.

But some satisfaction: http://news.ft.com/cms/s/df7266a0-f4...00e2511c8.html

Bernard Ebbers of WorldCom has gotten 25 years in prison, and he's 63 years old. he's gonna spend the golden years of his life rotting away in prison - a fitting end to a man who ruined the investments of thousands of people with his fraud.

This gives me hope for the Kenneth Lay trial, set to begin 8/16.

I saw this yesterday too, glad to see it, only thing id like is to see him go to a real prison, with the rapists and drug dealers, not one like martha stewert went to, which was inconvenient, but still comfortable. guys like this have ruined many people's lives, just like any common criminal, he should be in a prison with the common criminals.

I mean why does anyone post anything here? No one cares what you think. Close down the forums. If you think you have something to say, post it in your livejournal, you emo bitch.

Who are you?

As for the thread, I'm glad Ebbers got put away. This is the first major sentencing recently that I have actually agreed with. Like Diff X said, there is now slight hope for the Kenneth Lay trial.

Whatever happened to Pete Townshend and Phil Spector?

Townsend got cleared, claimed he was doing "research" for a book he was writing about his own sexual abuse. I think the Phil Spector trial is still taking place.

WALL OF SOUND WALL OF SOUND!

Good, I love Pete. I'm glad he got off (omg get it?)

Spector can rot in jail for all I care.
