CBC's "The National" Report On The Day's Proceedings

CBC News's The National had a report on the events in Conrad Black trial that took place today, by CBC correspondent Neil Macdonald. Mr. Macdonald mentioned Mr. Black’s “poker face,” which he characteristically shows in the courtroom, but speculated that the strain on Conrad Black must be incredible.

The defense is finished now. Eric Sussman hammered away at Black all through the prosecutorial rebuttal. He said that David Radler was a fraudster and a liar, but it doesn’t affect his testimony. Mr. Radler and Mr. Black are the same, except for the former showing remorse. Csr. Sussman also urged jurors to follow the money.

Near the end of his report, Mr. Maconald mentioned that Judge St. Eve will instruct jury to disregard considerations of wealth, and will tell them to use their common sense.
