ex-WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers fraud trialAfter of bombarding jurors with financial data, documents, and reports, the prosecution went for the human angle as they launched their summation in the fraud trial of ex-WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers today.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Johnson, summarizing the government’s case against Ebbers, portrayed Ebbers as a man with an intimidating physical stature and fiery temper, who was pressed to desperate measures to resolve his own personal financial missteps.

If Ebbers is innocent, I am the Pope of Rome. However, I expect his shysters to get him off with probation or even complete acquittal.
