The Conrad Black Trial

With closing arguments now wrapping up, the three-month trial of Canadian media magnate Conrad Black is drawing to a close in Chicago.
Black faces numerous charges of fraud, obstruction of justice and racketeering in connection with his role as CEO of Hollinger International.
Those looking for a primer as to the charges against Black and the factual defences he has raised will find a good summary here and extensive coverage here from CBC News.
Also worth checking out is Toronto Life, which has a running blog of Black trial observations and commentary, tagged as a "daily digest of courtroom activity for avid observers."
