Prolific Author Dept: The Montreal-born former press magnate, who has been free on bail for about a year, will appear Friday morning before Justice Amy St.Eve in the Chicago court room where she handed him a 6 1/2 year prison sentence in 2007, according to CTV. Even if Black emerges a free man, he remains a convicted felon -- with a presidential pardon his only recourse to clear his name -- who will be targeted for immediate deportation and cHICAGO Conrad Black's resentencing Friday may be the final chapter of his near decade-long American legal saga, but it is one that, if freed, the prolific author will be forced to write outside the United States. An appeals court last year reversed two of Black's three fraud convictions, leaving St. Eve to handle the resentencing. She has three options: allow the 66-year-old to stay free based on time already served, uphold his original sentence, or send him back to jail on a reduced sentence. As
