American prosecutors determined to pin 17 fraud charges on Conrad Black are positively salivating at the prospect that the rambunctious peer will take the stand in his own defence when his trial opens in a few weeks' time. Styling himself as a "freedom fighter", Lord Black has repeatedly denied the allegations that he looted hundreds of millions of dollars from his media companies, and in recent weeks he has told friends that he is resolved to testify.
The trial begins in Chicago on March th, 2007.

Considering that both Radler, and more recently Ravelston Corp. have rolled over and pled guilty, Conrad may find himself awarded an Oscar for best Comic - while he's sitting behind bars...

No matter how hard I try, I can't squeeze any symphaty for this arrogant, privileged, little emporor. I am licking my lips in an anticipation that in his ever lasting feeling of the superiority he will conduct his own defence and consequently get nailed but good. Oh lordy lord, the Lord is going to get lowered!
