A Fitting End?


I hated this man. I was so pleased when he was convicted, and I was looking forward to his sentencing this fall. Lay ruined thousands of lives with his greed and lies. I wonder how many innocent victims died of heart attacks as a result of his evil?
While talking about his demise, the first reactions from friends and family were interesting. Not one person expressed any condolences for him or his family. Actually, there were two typical reactions. Upon hearing of his death, people either asked "did he kill himself?" or "they better check that body to make sure it is really him". I think that sums up the situation pretty well.
I still feel cheated out of the pleasure I would have had watching him being carted off to jail. Although, there is always Skilling.
