Stamford, CT | funny... Ken Lay from Enron, was tried and convicted.
When he died, his lawyers filed a motion to have his record cleared since he was not sentenced nor was able to file an appeal. It looks like that is "normal" course of business. Seems bizarre to me that someone convicted of a crime is cleared just because they havent been sentenced or appealed.
Dont believe it?

Lay died on July 5, in Aspen, Colo., of heart disease. Although he was convicted, a final judgment wasn't issued because he had not yet been sentenced and through the appeals process. Rather than allow an appeal to proceed without him, the court is widely expected to throw out both the verdict and indictment, leaving Lay's record as though he were never charged.
Lay's $5 million bond — backed by his children's homes — also would be canceled at that time. With his conviction vacated, the government also will not be able to seize Lay's property through the criminal proceedings.
