In Lay's case, there had not been a final judgment entered, which gave the judge the power to vacate the conviction. Vacating the conviction was discretionary, not mandatory.

The persons defrauded by Lay still have the right to bring civil actions against his estate. The smarter ones filed their civil actions the day he died, or the day after he died.

How about if someone successfully (for a time) faked their death, after a conviction but before the appeal is finished (presumably while out on bail, I think it would be hard to fake your death while in prison)
