If they're convicted on the bigger charges yes... and then some.
Edit: This the reading of the verdict. Sentencing will come later.

5-10 years per count.
That's a virtual life sentence for Lay. Skilling might taste free air before he dies.

I'm glad that the jury was able to see through their manipulative game.
Lay had gotten away with the same bait, switch. grab & run game in investments in a his company 20 years ago
so he probably beleived he coud scam it again with these jurists.
Now in the sentancing phase, I hope they throw the book at them & loose the keys.
Tens of thousands of hard working employees and trusting investors lost everything they had to these snake-oil salesmen.
People who have been duped out of their life savings when they are 68+ years old don't have the option of
working for another 35 years to regain all that they were taken for.
Lay & Skilling should never again be allowed to stand in the sunlight, or breath air outside of a prison wall.
Anybody want to bet that within a relatively short period of time some 'Doctor' will discover some
'health concern' that will try to get them off as being too ill to go off to prison, because they might die there?
What are the chances that Dubya will grant them or one of them 'Presidential Pardons' as his last act in office before he slithers out of the Whitehouse?

Good for the jury. Guilty on all counts except for 8 insider trading counts against Skilling. Enron was a poster-child for Corporate America turned evil. Throw the book at those f**kers and let's make an example out of them.

That'll be a little tough as the state's doctors would have to concur with the diagnosis. Even still, the best he could hope for is to be transferred out of PMITA prison and into a prison medical facility or some other lower security place. He's still in jail either way.
That's not something I'd worry about.
Now THIS is a possibility.
Edit: They are both still out on bail... Both have money... Anyone think they will skip?

I don't want this little embeded tidbit to go unoticed:
Lay was also convicted of bank fraud and making false statements to banks in a separate trial non-jury trial before U.S. District Judge Sim Lake related to Lay's personal banking
There was a separate non-jury trial for bank fraud against Lay, that the judge said he would announce the findings of
only after the Big Dance, so as to not affect any conclusions made by the jury in the main trial.

Please understand Lay and Skilling now stand convicted of stealing the huge fortune they still have. Conviction is just a small setback---there are all those appeals yet to go.
Maybe juror#6 didn't disclose something, maybe the judge erred in some ruling or juror instruction, and the appeals won't stop until the attorneys end up with every last dime.
Attorneys all over this country are salivating as I write this. Nor am I holding my breath awaiting the sound of the jail doors slamming shut on those pieces of biological
waste matter.
But I am still thrilled the jury saw through all that PR---but many a slip between cup and lip as they say.---and least they didn't get a sleeze pass like Scrutchie did.
