Hollinger International: U S Federal Court

Conrad Black Dept: Lawyers for Black, 66, and the U.S. government are to present their arguments at a resentencing hearing in Chicago to Judge Amy St. Eve, who presided over Black's original trial in 2007, according to CBC. An appeals court subsequently reversed two convictions but upheld two others on fraud and obstruction of justice and former media tycoon Conrad Black will face a U.S. federal court judge on Friday to learn whether he must return to prison for fraud and obstruction of justice convictions. The Montreal-born Black was serving a 6 -year sentence in a U.S. prison when he was freed last summer after the U.S. Supreme Court curtailed the "honest services" laws used to convict him of defrauding Hollinger International investors. As reported in the news.
