Mr. Henson was the outside counsel for Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. (CNHI) at the time, according to an AP report posted at the Belleville News-Democrat. He seconded Mike Reid's own testimony that CNHI did not consider Hollinger, Inc. to be a competitive threat at the time of the sale. "They said the money would have been part of the deal anyway whether all of it went to Hollinger International or - as happened - a portion of it went to Hollinger Inc."
According to the report, Mr. Henson's direct examination, by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Siskel, will continue tomorrow; once finished, the defense cross-examination of him will commence.
Another report, by Romina Maurino, has also been webbed, which gives more details on the cross-examination of Mr. Reid: "'You knew... that (Black and Radler) owned a lot of community newspapers. You knew that they had put together papers from scratch (and) built an empire,' Black's U.S. lawyer said." Her report also includes the full name of Angela Way, just as Mike Robinson's AP report, linked to above, includes the full name of Mr. Henson. Forbes.com also has a quick AP "Summary Box" on the day's trial events.
