...bail wineries out. Mark McKenzie, executive director of the wine-grape growers trade group, says incomes for some growers have fallen 60% in the past two years. "It's as bad as I've seen it in 46 years," says Brian McGuigan, an industry veteran and founder of McGuigan Simeon Wines, the nation's second largest firm...
...base as the company's financial statements. Attorneys for Lay and Skilling vow to appeal, and there is precedent - all the way to the Supreme Court - to attack a white-collar fraud conviction based on the fine points of the kind of jury instructions given by Judge Simeon Lake.

That is fine with Simeon Wright. He loves the film. He differs with those who see little point to the investigation now that Bryant and Milam are dead. "Would it be proper for us to say Mohammed Atta and all his boys are dead, so let Sept. 11 die?" he asks. "We can know who was in the conspiracy. They're in their 70s now. Why die with this stain on their hands?" And he adds, "Who knows? Maybe the state will call and say, 'Mr. Wright, we're so sorry your family suffered this grave injustice in Mississippi.'" --Reported...
