There are hardly any media stories, from overnight and today, to pass along - only two:
1. Susan Berger, as webbed by CBC News, recounts the week's events at the trial.
2. The Donald Trump connection got a one paragraph mention, as the first item, in the Observer's "The Week."

In yesterday's intro to the media reports on the last bit of testimony for the week, Douglas Bell writes this about Lance Bloomfield's testimony: "After the continuing parade of reptiles equivocating their tortuous way around the truth, 'this ain’t right' sounds like the Gettysburg Address." He also is careful enough to note that Mr. Bloomfield merely packed the boxes into Mr. Black's secretary's car and then put them back in 10 Toronto. A later entry by him in the Toronto Life Conrad Black trial blog focuses in on Judge St. Eve's recent rebuke of Mr. Black and ends with a punch line that reveals why Mr. Black's out-of-trial comments may be very relevant to his fate in the courtroom. A related entry by Patrick Gossage ventures that Conrad Black is losing the spin war in the courtroom itself.
Steve Skurka's latest entry in "The Crime Sheet" contains an anecdote, from his earlier days as a trial lawyer, which shows quite flatly why a trial attorney should never take any thing prima facie for granted.
