It's been a month since the Conrad Black trial started, and the media reports have slowed down for another weekend, when nothing is new:
1. From the Pictou County News, an article wondering out loud why there's so much coverage of the trial.
2. The Toronto Star's Rick Westhead notes that the recent testimony by Darryl Sukonick isn't likely to impact Torys LLC's position as a market leader in the Canadian corporate-legal industry. (Excerpted by LawFuel.com.)
3. Also from the Star, a column by Jim Coyle that uses the Bora Bora trip as a springboard for complaints about reaching old age. It contains relevant quotes from a few modern American authors. (Cameron Smith mentions the trial in passing, in a column discussing a recent plan by Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty to allow fast-tracked building of incinerators.)
4. The Toronto Sun has webbed Peter Worthington's assessment of the prosecution's performance so far, which ends with: "At this stage, it's hard to envy the prosecutors' role."
5. Theresa Tedesco of the National Post has a feature-length article that re-caps the entire month of the trial, under the title "No suspense, but plenty of comedy." It even works in Elmer Fudd...

CBC News has thoughtfully posted a guide to the documentation that the prosecution has introduced into evidence. They don't mention any "smoking gun" in it, though; if you want to try your hand at finding one yourself, the direct link to the prosecution's "Trial Documents" is here. (I got the last link from the guide itself.)
