Zero tolerance laws are guilty of hurting innocent people Well this one sure has. For starters, Reyes—unlike executives such as Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs and former United Healthcare (UNH) CEO Bill McGuire—did not receive backdated options himself. "This will set a tone that an executive can have mens rea—"a guilty mind"—even if he didn't personally line his own pockets," says George Stamboulidis, head of Baker Hostetler's white-collar defense practice. That's important, as an element of the securities fraud, false statement and records falsification charges on which Reyes was convicted requires that the defendant understand that his or her actions were illegal. businessweek.com I like to think we live in a society where people can't be arrested for a "guilty mind", obviously I was wrong.
