"Are you devastated by the sentence?"
That's what somebody yelled at Skilling. His answer? "Obviously, I'm not happy ... I really believe, this is no act, I really believe that I'm innocent." He added, "I have children and I'd like to spend time with them."
Gosh, Jeff. Lots of people have children - lots of people whose lives you ruined.
Of course, you remember this gem:
"In terms of remorse your honour, I can't imagine more remorse," Skilling told the court before he was sentenced.What's that? I didn't do it, but I'm sorry? Most people don't have "remorse" for things they are "innocent of". They may be regretful that things happened to turn out badly, but remorse?
"That being said your honour, I am innocent of these charges."
Merriam-Webster defines "remorse" as: a gnawing distress arising from a sense of guilt for past wrongs (as injuries done to others)
So, Ken, you "can't imagine more remorse", and yet you are "innocent of these charges"?
Yeah.
Skilling is a piece of work.
I hope he is devastated.
And I hope others are taking notice.
