Court Denies Bail for Convicted Former Tyco ExecutivesBy SAMUEL MAULL, AP
NEW YORK (Oct. 3) - A state appeals court Monday refused to allow bail for former Tyco International executives L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz while they appeal their convictions on charges of stealing some $600 million from the company. [...]
Kozlowski, 58, and Swartz, 45, have been custody since they were sentenced Sept. 19 to eight and one-third to 25 years in prison. They were convicted in June on first-degree grand larceny and other charges related to accusations they stole $180 million outright and improperly made some $430 million by manipulating Tyco's stock value. [...]
Kozlowski and Swartz were each convicted in June on 22 counts of grand larceny, securities fraud, falsifying business records and conspiracy after a four-month second trial. Their first ended in a mistrial after one juror received a menacing communication.During the trials, prosecutors accused Tyco's two former top executives of giving themselves illegal bonuses and forgiving loans to themselves worth up to $180 million, while also manipulating Tyco's stock price by lying about the company's finances.
Kozlowski should die in prison.

Well, only if you think the punishment should fit the magnitude of the crime.
But that would require a half dozen reincarnations.
