The entire episode of tonight's Verdict was devoted to a controversial Canadian sex-assault case, so there was no discussion on the Conrad Black trial. The only item I have to pass along is that Ms. Todd is herself a lawyer. If Csr. Todd hews to precedent, there'll be at least another segment on the trial tomorrow.
In lieu of a report, therefore, I have an update on the Website that's been making book on the trial. BetUS.com seems to have closed the book on the entire "Corporate Scandals" subcategory in its "Entertainment" category, the one where the Conrad Black bet lines were found. I suppose the owners of BetUS decided that they couldn't handicap events of this nature. In addition, I suspect, they closed the subcategory because the twists and turns, not to mention the dirty or unexpectedly clean laundry, that emerge in any such scandal would have called for a change in the odds, which just ain't bookmakin'.
[Also, the valued clients may buy and sell already-placed wagers on the sly, if the odds undergo changes.]
