"Your Honor, the defense enters a plea of not guilty by way of incompetence."
Im not defending Lay, but the media loves to focus on white collar crimes instead of crimes like murder and rape, crimes that actually seriously affect the public. The media defends murderers and fights the death penalty. Yet is hawkish against white collar criminals.
The government spends too much money on incacerations. My solution, automatically execute every murderer in an expeditious fashion and fine white collar criminals rather than incarcerating them with tax payer dollars.
