HOUSTON (CNNMoney.com) - Enron former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling and founder Kenneth Lay were found guilty Thursday of conspiracy and fraud in the granddaddy of all corporate fraud cases.

On the sixth day of deliberations, a jury of eight women and four men convicted the former executives of misleading the public about the true financial health of Enron, whose collapse in late 2001 symbolized the wave of corporate fraud that swept the United States early this decade

I'm pretty impressed that a jury could stick with the complexities of the case over, what? Three, four months?

They must feel like they've just taken the final from hell.

Maybe there were some economists in the bunch, or maybe they had a lot of it made into pretty pie charts.
