Machan argues in support of ex Enron boss Ken Lay that behavior is shaped by genes, upbringing, and social forces, making individuals blameless. He cites tobacco, gun, hot coffee cases and claims courts misplace blame on circumstances, urging verdicts of not guilty. He frames corporate misbehavior as excused by upbringing and education, echoing Doris Day and Clarence Darrow.
