The passion of Ken Lay. The headline says: "Ken Lay's 'worst nightmare': 2 separate trials," but the truth is that by the time the trials actually take place the heat will be gone and instead of the crucifixion he deserves we'll get a show trial (Houston Chronicle):

Lay wanted to be tried last month. Prosecutors have asked Lake to set the Enron trial for March 2005. And Skilling and Causey have requested a March 2006 trial.

Court watchers expect the judge may split the difference and schedule the three-defendant case for the summer or fall of 2005.

"Lay wanted to be tried last month." Yeah, right before the election. Sure. What a transparent piece of theater.

Isn't it obvious that Enron's political terrorists would never be tried during the reign of the administration they helped install, the same administration that let them write US energy policy in the secrecy of Dick Cheney's office in March 2001?
