#120423 - Richard is right -- sort of Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Google for "lay conviction erase" results in 259K hits. It seems that a doctrine called "abatement doctrine" does allow for Lay's conviction to be erased. But it's not automatic. The lawyers have to ask the court to vacate the conviction.
The bad news is that the court will probably allow it. The good news is that it only applies to criminal convictions. Civil lawsuits, including lawsuits by the government, are not affected by Lay's death. About $7 billion (that's US billion = 10E9) have already been recovered from various defendants, with possibly more to come. |
