Former Tyco chiefs found guilty

Here it is again.

Former Tyco International Ltd. (TYC)Chief Executive Dennis Kozlowski and finance chief Mark Swartz were found guilty on Friday of stealing more than $150 million, giving prosecutors pursuing the recent wave of corporate scandals one of their biggest victories to date.

Kozlowski, 58, and Swartz, 44, were each found guilty of 22 counts of grand larceny, conspiracy, fraud and falsifying business records. Both former executives were found not guilty on one charge of falsifying documents.

It is like I said here. "I do not want to hear from femi-nazis saying that Martha Stewart was convicted because she is a woman. I do not want to hear the black leaders (who are horrible leaders anyway) bitching that race gets a person off. (OJ did walk, didn't he?) I do not want to hear the social justice freaks claiming that money buys a jury. (OJ did walk, didn't he?)"

Even the guilty are surprised by their guilty rulings.

"We are disappointed and will deal with this on appeal," said Swartz's attorney, Charles Stillman. Kozlowski's lawyer, Stephen Kaufman, affirmed that his client would also appeal. Asked whether he was surprised by the verdict, Kaufman said, "surprise would be the understatement."

What I don't understand is HOW could they be "surprised"? They did not have the star power for witnesses that Michael Jackson did. No surprise here...they did it and they got their verdict.
