	Macleans.ca - Blogs \| Conrad Black Trial
		Conrad Black and his lawyers will be back in court this week to help Judge Amy reach a decision on whether or not the convicted man can return to his home in Toronto until sentencing on November 30th.
		Conrad Black is likely to wind up back in court to go through all the stuff he's been acquitted of one mo' time, this time in a Securities and Exchange Commission case.
		Conrad Black is only in his present predicament because of his love of America and therefore, when his tribulations began four years ago, an undue faith in the integrity of its judicial process.

	Conrad Black loses retrial bid - Telegraph
		Conrad Black has lost a last-ditch attempt to have his convictions overturned just three weeks ahead of sentencing at which he could be made to serve up to 24 years in jail.
		Black, who has consistently denied the allegations, was also accused of using the company as "a piggy bank" to fund his lavish billionaire lifestyle.
		Black's defence team argued that the jury were unable to follow the finer points of the case, and had at times behaved irrationally, claiming a "manifest injustice" had occurred.

		Black was present in court to hear the verdict along with his wife, Barbara Amiel Black.
		Black's lawyers argued that Radler was a "self-confessed liar" and that the payments had been authorised by the company.

	The Conrad Black Trial: Comeuppance Or Vindication?
		A report from CBC News outlines what one juror said about the deliberations, and why they were contentious: she herself stuck to the belief that Conrad Black was largely not guilty.
		The Conrad Black trial, as well as the trial of the other three defendants, is now over except for Conrad Black's bail hearing and the sentencing.
		Mark Steyn, in his Maclean's Conrad Black trial blog, adds his own speculation on why the jury is still deadlocked two days subsequent to the Tuesday note, before concluding that such an exercise is largely useless.

		Black's Canadian defense attorney, Edward L. Greenspan, is expected to cast Radler as an ungrateful liar who would say anything to stay in the government's good graces.
		Black stepped down as CEO in 2003 and was ousted as chairman the next year.
		Black's attorneys have suggested he is being unfairly targeted because of his assets, arguing in one court filing that since "Biblical times, and probably before, the wealthy have been envied and condemned." Another filing began simply with the Italian word "Basta!" — perhaps best translated as "Enough!"

		Conrad Black's defense seems to suggest that Conrad Black didn't even know that Hollinger International was a company he controlled, so innocent is the beleaguered Canadian media mogul.
		Common sense prevails, as Conrad Black's attorneys realize that letting a jury discover that their client is friendly with Donald Trump would cause irreparable damage to their defense.
		Conrad Black was so concerned about shareholder dissent at Hollinger International's 2003 annual meeting that he turned to Donald Trump for help.

	Conrad Black
		Black is married to Barbara Amiel, a well-known right-wing columnist.
		Black, who is considered to be fairly right-wing (especially by Canadian standards), has sparred several times in public with then Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who is much further left on the political spectrum and who subsequently instructed the Queen to withhold the peerage as long as Black held Canadian citizenship.
		Black was also involved, albeit tangentially, in a controversy in December of 2001 when the then-French ambassador to the UK, Daniel Bernard, called Israel a "shitty little country" in a conversation the two had at a private dinner party.

		Black gave up his Canadian citizenship to become a British life peer because of Canada's Nickle Resolution, that called on the monarch (King or Queen) to desist from granting aristocratic titles in Canada.
		Black had attempted to evade the resolution by taking dual British and Canadian citizenship and seeking the peerage as a Briton, and he unsuccessfully sued the Canadian government in 2001 when this tactic failed.
		On November 17, 2003 it was announced that Black would be resigning as chief executive of Hollinger after an internal inquiry alleged that he had received over $7 million in unauthorized payments of company funds.

		In August of that year, Black launched a lawsuit against Chrétien for "abuse of public office" and sought a declaration that the Canadian government lacks authority to advise the Sovereign not to confer an honour on a British citizen or a holder of dual nationality.
		Black has been a critic of everything the Chrétien Liberals stand for: excessively high and punitive rates of taxation, an economic climate not conducive to economic growth and a general attitude of disdain toward entrepreneurs and risk-takers in our society.
		Black's perspectives on the issues, no one can accuse him of being uninformed or unintelligent, and his brash outspokenness on some of our country's most pressing topics will certainly be missed.

	Black, Hollinger and Barclay: Overview
		Black subsequently authored a well-regarded biography of FD Roosevelt (building a notable collection of FDR archives for £8 million) and gained attention for his interest in Napoleon - critics were quick to notice a similarity with Northcliffe - and collection of nautical models to accompany four portraits by Warhol, the Alfred Munnings of the 1980s.
		Black subsequently sued Bower for £4.8m, arguing that the biography is "vindictive, high-handed, contemptuous, sadistic, pathologically mendacious and malicious".
		Black's dissatisfaction with much of humanity - in particular regulators and employees - is a trait shared with many of the leading magnates and as a guest or partner he appears greatly superior to Maxwell.

		Black’s observation came in the course of recounting a conversation he’d once had with Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who was discussing his own tall-poppy problems and remarking, according to Black’s account, that Canada was difficult to govern partly because French-speaking Canadians boo the loser and English-speaking Canadians boo the winner.
		Black presents his exam-selling scheme as part of an elaborate campaign in which he is cast in the role of those dazzlingly resourceful Allied prisoners in Second World War movies who manage somehow to gain a measure of power over their captors.
		Black’s retention of a half-interest in the National Post was considered by some a way to save face, but he assured both the public and the loyalists on the staff that, under the deal, he would retain complete editorial control for the first five years of the partnership.

		Born on 25 August 1944 in Montreal, Conrad Moffat Black grew up in Toronto, a precocious young boy who developed a taste for business from his father, George, a president of a big Canadian brewing company who was fired at the age of 47 and went on to earn his fortune buying and selling shares.
		Conrad likes newspapers only because they give him a seat at high table, as he has admitted: "The deferences and preferments that this culture bestows upon the owners of great newspapers are satisfying.

	The tragedy of Conrad Black, intermezzo - New English Review
		The last three years have not been kind to Conrad Black: his media empire and his reputation are in a shambles, his various properties are being auctioned off by court-order, and his assets and family jewelry are being confiscated – all this, and Black has yet to be convicted of a single crime.
		When Black tried to use his stake in Hollinger to exert influence over the sale of some of his media titles to the Barclay brothers of Britain, an overly-bumptious judge intervened to stop him – even now, the precise rules to be applied are uncertain, resulting in large legal fees whenever there is disagreement.
		Judges who think nothing of stripping Black of his livelihood, iconoclastic prosecutors and their cheerleaders in the Frognal set, and a bunch of greedy shareholders trying to scavenge whatever is left over – this is the tragedy of the Black prosecution.

		Black dismisses the criticism as "absolute bunk, a rear trench in the inexorable retreat of our critics." His attackers have been guilty of scaremongering, he says, with allegations that he would turn the papers into extremist publications.
		Black insists he was not pleased with the photo of himself, and claims he would have "been happy to pay five hundred bucks to anybody to keep my picture in that get-up out of the Ottawa Citizen.
