Ken Lay turned down on request for "speedy trial"

[Bluebear]

HOUSTON - Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay won't get the September trial he wanted on charges stemming from the scandal-choked company's collapse.

But he could learn by early October whether he'll get a separate trial or face a judge or jury next alongside his one-time protege, former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, and the company's former top accountant, Richard Causey.

I wonder if he left the courtroom saying "I beg your PARDON!"

4. Maybe he wants his trial to be over before the other guys spill their guts

and everyone knows how badly he has screwed his employees, investors, American taxpayers.
