There was a brief interview on BNN with Mark Zauderer, a lawyer and expert on jury selection. He, too, voiced the consensus opinion that Conrad Black was helped by his relative anonymity in Chicago, and that it would probably be a mistake for him to testify - but Csr. Zauderer supplied reasons for each, to wit and with paraphrase: when known, Conrad Black is often presented as "arrogant;" when deciding to testify, Enron's old CEO, Kenneth Lay, became the first CEO to approach the behavior of a suicide bomber when on the stand. (It could be argued by any apologists for him that remain, if any at all, that he did go down with his stock.)
No need to wonder why the legal experts' consensus has formed the way it did.
