5. In all fairness to Mr. Skilling...
The officers took his Blood Alcohol Content at one given moment in time.

But Mr. Skilling had chosen to amortize his Blood Alcohol over a period of several months.


Furthermore, his wife, who wasn't drinking, had agreed to accept some of his alcohol count upon herself, through a beach-side lounge in The Cayman Islands.

Really, it's all just a matter of accounting.

6. Ha!
Sounds alot like his losing defense in court. Smoke and mirrors with a bit of creative bean counting thrown in.

7. That should revoke his bail.
And thrown into PMITA prison already. For 30 years. Bubba should have a new bride shortly.
