According to this item, by Barbara Shecter, in the Vancouver Sun's Website, former U.S. prosecutor Robert Kent said that his successors have "erred."
From the first paragraph: "Robert Kent, the former lead prosecutor in the criminal fraud and racketeering case against Conrad Black, says his successors in the U.S. prosecutor's office made a 'tactical error' by oversimplifying opening statements and failing to take time to counter upcoming arguments from the defence."
BetUS.com's odds on Conrad Black being found not guilty on all charges are still 10-1 against. Intrade's bids and asks for its Conrad Black Trial contracts (quotes in this entry) are still unchanged.

Yes, there has been. Plus, the optics are wrong when the prosecution is anchored as a bunch of saviors in a case as complex as this, because ordinary bumps in the road make them seem like bunglers when they're not.
The only way out of the resultant let-down, for the prosecution, comes with the demonization of the defendants.
