True justice for Enron villain

Re “Former Enron CEO gets 24-year sentence,” Oct. 24

Here we have a convicted criminal who, even though claiming to be innocent, professes remorse. If a person is innocent of the charges, as Jeffrey Skilling claims to be, what’s there to feel remorse about other than sorrow for being caught and exposed? Skilling has expressed not one iota of remorse for his role in the annihilation of the financial futures of thousands of families.

True justice would be to strip Skilling of every penny he has and turn him out on the street with nowhere to live, no transportation, no cash and no credit cards. Do not allow him to earn more than, say, a most generous $40,000 per year. Now that’s justice.
