10. MSNBC: Skilling denied bail during appeals process

HOUSTON - A federal appellate court denied former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling’s request to remain free during his appeal Tuesday and ordered him imprisoned immediately.

Judge Patrick Higginbotham of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in his two-page order that “Skilling raises no substantial question that is likely to result in the reversal of his convictions on all of the charged counts.”

As a result, Higginbotham denied Skilling’s request for bail pending his appeal and vacated an earlier order staying his prison report date.

17. Wonder what Kenny Boy's up to now?

Hanging out in Paraguay at Rancho Arbusto?

[mod mom]

18. Anyone know what a minimal security prison is like?

[flyarm]

29. I HAD A NEIGHBOR IN L.A. WHO WAS IN MINIMUM SECURITY

HE WAS A LAWYER WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE M. MILKIN STUFF..AND HE ALMOST WENT NUTS THERE.. he really got squirly his wife would complain to me that he had gone batty..and he was only in slightly more than 2 years...

it was like the big wisper in the neighborhood..

but it was blown wide open when he was on 60 minutes..

fly

[Katzenjammer]

32. Yes. Compared to, say Folsom, Attica, or Leavenworth, it's like a country club

I'm sure to the over-privileged it feels awful to have a curfew and no syncophants or hiney-wipers to follow them around and take care of them, but compared to any regular prison they're heavenly.

They're not nicknamed "Club Fed" for nothing.

[superconnected]

19. Bet he can't get out of the country fast enough, but still manages

too.

He'll be sipping pinacoladas with Kenny boy any minute.

[ldf]

30. He'll be sipping pinacoladas

if he goes to a REAL jail, he may be sipping "penis colossus", as it were....

:-)

makes the jaws ache, just thinking about it.

ouch!

ouch!

ouch!

ouch!

[CatholicEdHead]

Yes, send him up to Waseca ASAP

[Ilsa]

20. Good. He can serve time while his case is on appeal instead of

looking for a "way out" like Kenny Boy.

[YankeyMCC]

21. Ah nutz

I can't find my tiny, tiny violin ;)

[sam sarrha]

22. so he cant fake his death like the other Enron exec

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

24. My first thought.. he apparently didn't have the connections and/ or money to conveniently "die"n/t
