CHICAGO (AFP) - Fallen media baron Conrad Black is a liar and thief,
a prosecutor said Tuesday in opening statements of a fraud trial in
which Black and three associates are accused of pocketing 60 million
dollars.

"Bank robbers wear masks and use a gun," prosecutor Jeffrey Cramer
told the jury. "But these men wore suits... these four men committed
their crimes by falsifying documents to make it look like normal
business dealings. It was theft. It was fraud. It was a crime."

Cramer said the crime began when Black's vast media empire began
selling off hundreds of smaller community newspapers in order to
focus on its larger titles like Britain's prestigious Daily Telegraph,
Jerusalem Post and Chicago Sun-Times.

"These four decided they would take the proceeds from those sales
andvput them in their pocket," Cramer said.

2. Isn't that the guy who Rush Limbaugh said you knew the client was guilty

when C.B. was representing a client (in the case of William Kennedy Smith) ... and then hired Black when his lardy big butt was on fire for drug charges?

3. You are thinking of Roy Black, the defense lawyer

Conrad Black is a POS originally from Canada, owned Hollinger, a media corporation that included ownership of the Jerusalem Post, the National Post, the Chicago Sun Times, etc. He stole from the shareholders of Hollinger and, surprise, surprise his buds Perle, Kissinger, etc, who served on at least one of his boards, didn't notice a thing!

4. Someone needs to keep digging and eventually worm their way to Perle's level.

No way Perle is 100% innocent in all of this.
