Who says this guy was "at the heart" of the scandal? There are plenty of people around -- still alive and kicking -- from both Enron and A. Anderson who are at least equally as if not more central to the matter than Baxter.

1) How could nthe j.p. even think he could do WITHOUT a freakin' autopsy??

2)And I know he's at the heart of the scandal because he's DEAD, no matter what the cause of death. He was either killed because he knew too much, or he killed himself because he knew too much. That means he was a player.

Thirty-five million dollars buys a lot of the best lawyers. He could sail all of his life and never put his foot in a courtroom.

Just remember the powers that be are circling the wagons and he was a loose cannon in their eyes.

They have all been meeting together to strategize for months and feeling each other out to see who is in and who is out. It has been "we all hang together or we will all hang separately". He was probably the one who they didn't trust to keep his mouth shut and develop early alzheimers.

Remember Clinton lawyers are defending the executives and they want any loose ends tied up. He was a loose end. His death is a message to the others to stay in the circle or else.

Even if his finger prints are on the gun, someone else could have pulled the trigger and dictated the note.

You will have to forgive those of us who have vivid imaginations -- but after a decade of the Clintonistas it is impossible to operate without one.

Finally -- do you remember General Rommel's suicide. Think about it.
