The only report that's been webbed overnight on the Conrad Black trial is from the Irish Independent, entitled "Many grey areas in the trial of Black, the colourful tycoon." It's only available to registered users.
Another report has been webbed today, which spells out what the prosecution has to do this week to keep the case alive. It's by Romina Maurino, and has been webbed by Canada.com. Its theme is that, in order to successfully press the case, the prosecutors have to show intent. Ostensibly, the prosecutorial team has picked it up, now that the audit committee is testifying, but they still face a real stumbling block: how can they prove that those three knowledgable individuals were dupes? As Steve Skurka puts it, "'These aren’t the [Flintstones], these are fairly sophisticated, astute people'”. Another authority quoted in this piece, James Morton, points out near the end that the scenario unfolding "'really does seem to be taking a Shakespearean atmosphere: You have the great man surrounded by courtiers [that had enjoyed his largesse during good times] who, now that he’s in trouble, are abandoning him.'" The first seven paragraphs of this report have been webbed by LawFuel.com.
