It looks like more convictions in the corporate crime wave of the last 10 years:
A federal judge tentatively accepted a plea agreement Thursday for the wife of former Enron finance chief Andrew S. Fastow, a move that could lead to a plea from Fastow and possibly his cooperation with prosecutors investigating other top executives in the energy giant’s collapse.
Under the deal, Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron, would go to prison for five months. However, U.S. District Court Judge David Hittner said he had “preliminary concerns” and wanted a presentencing investigation to determine if the sentence was appropriate before finalizing it.
The big guys can’t be too far away.

I thought Bush was letting these guys get away…at least that is what the left insists.

“The big guys can’t be too far away.”
Let’s hope so.

John,
Shame on you! Who are you to PREJUDGE the likes of Ken Lay?!??
As Howard Dean so wisely pointed out, we should rely entirely on the findings of a court before we start pronouncing sentence.
If the Nazis at Nuremburg were worth the rule of law, and so is Osama bin Laden, do we not owe the same to the likes of Ken Lay and Shilling and the rest?
Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
So, let’s not hear any more pre-judging of poor Ken Lay, hmmm?

Right, Dean, and send Ken Lay to The Hague for trial …
