In fact, my view of the facts came from the appeals court own words, when they reviewed Ed's case.
They denied appeal, but clearly described the main issues in the case, in the footnotes. Ed said it was an over-reaction. Appeals court said it was not so aggregious to overturn a jury.
Juries were probably not very sympathetic during Enron era, if ever.
Time to move on here. Everyone can make thier own decisions. In the end, real revenues, closed deals, buybacks etc will rule.
