Ken Lay Indicted

Former Enron CEO Ken Lay was indicted today. He's being allowed to surrender tomorrow. Bail is probably arranged, he'll be home for dinner. We have no problem with that, we just wish it were true for every defendant. We find this bit of info somewhat perplexing:

The foreman of the specially-called grand jury told Judge Milloy that at least 16 members were present and at least 12 voted for the indictment.

Does that mean it was not a unanimous grand jury vote? If the prosecutors can't convince all of the grand jurors in a one-sided proceeding at which the defendant has no ability to argue or present or challenge evidence, what does that say about the strength of the Government's case?

Skippy says, "osama bin laden still at large, but at least we got kenny boy!" A big congrats to Skippy who is about to celebrate his second blogiversary (y.w.c.t.p.). Go over and visit and push him over that 500,000 reader visit mark.
