The Enron verdicts are in
Today, a Houston jury convicted Kenneth Lay of six counts of fraud and conspiracy and four counts of bank fraud; Jeffrey Skilling was convicted of 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy and one count of insider trading. The sentencing hearing is not until September, but legal experts believe that each may face 20-30 years in prison. [CNN] Are there any vacancies at the "Alcatraz of the Rockies"?
The Houston Chronicle is easily the best source for coverage of the trial. In addition to being the paper of record in the nation's energy capital, the Chronicle has one of the best websites of any major newspaper, and their Enron coverage page features a staggering amount of documents, analysis, audio, photo, and video files.

The New York Times (which will never have one of the best newspaper websites until they drop their registration requirement and their even-more-absurd "TimesSelect" restriction) has been creating some great infographics and multimedia features lately, and their coverage of the trial is no exception, especially the excellent interactive Enron timeline, which charts the company's history against its stock price.
