The Day the Violence Died
Original Airdate in N.A.: 17-Mar-96
It's late at night, and the kids, appropriately equipped with cans of Buzz Cola and their Itchy & Scratchy anniversary caps, are watching the 48-hour Itchy & Scratchy Diamond Jubilee Marathon: "celebrating 75 years of rib-tickling brutality and hilarious atrocities".
Another Itchy & Scratchy episode runs, called "Remembrance of Things Slashed". The kids laugh heartily for a while, then get up and stretch themselves.
Bart: Lisa, if I ever stop loving violence, I want you to shoot me.
Lisa: Will do.
-- Let someone who still loves it do it, "The Day the Violence Died"
Kent Brockman comes on the air.
Tonight, a stowaway bear is terrorizing space shuttle astronauts. But first, a sneak peak at tomorrow's Itchy & Scratchy parade.

The thought occurred to me the other day, yesterday I think, that the primary purpose of the Orion spacecraft was to send me to the outer solar system to destroy or deflect a comet or asteroid that was threatening Earth.

Judge vacates Ken Lay's Enron conviction
By TOM FOWLER Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle
Oct. 17, 2006, 4:58PM
Former Enron Chairman Ken Lay's criminal conviction was vacated and his indictment dismissed by a judge today.
U.S. District Judge Sim Lake granted the request by Lay's estate to vacate the conviction, an outcome that was widely anticipated given legal precedent. He also dismissed the indictment used to bring him to trial earlier this year.
Lay died July 5, just weeks after a jury found him guilty on six charges of conspiracy and fraud and Lake found him guilty on four charges of bank fraud.
In his decision, Lake cited a decision in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that makes death, before the appeals process has been exhausted, grounds for throwing out a conviction and dismissing an indictment.
The Department of Justice tried to trump that precedent, however, when it asked Congress in early September to pass a law that would essentially prevent courts from vacating criminal convictions if a defendant dies before going through the entire appeals process.
The government asked Lake to at least wait until Oct. 23, when Lay was scheduled to be sentenced.
The proposed law does not appear to have been picked up a sponsor in Congress.
