Описание книги

With the advent of Conrad Black’s new appeal, Steven Skurka is back to deliver a thorough, in-depth account of the controversial businessman’s legal difficulties. It was the trial that captivated observers on both sides of the Atlantic. Media titan Conrad Black, by turns respected and reviled for decades in Canada and around the world, faced off with U.S. prosecutors on charges of criminal fraud stemming from his activities with Hollinger International. As the only Canadian writer to attend the trials of Conrad Black, lawyer Steven Skurka delivers a thorough, in-depth account of the controversial businessman’s legal difficulties. Skurka offers analysis, insights, and personal anecdotes to present the clearest picture of the trials to date, featuring interviews with key members of the prosecution and defence, as well as a peek into the jury room during final deliberations. In the first edition of Tilted , Skurka showed how the prosecution attempted to «tilt» the trial in its favour, but he also demonstrated how Black unsuccessfully attempted to tilt the trial his way. Black lost his appeal to the Court of Appeals and began serving a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence in Florida. Black’s legal battles moved to the U.S. Supreme Court, followed by a second appeal in Chicago and leading eventually to a dramatic conclusion. Now Skurka brings the reader up to date on all of the recent developments in Conrad Black’s case, including new interviews and behind the scenes strategy.

The Trials of CONRAD BLACK

Second Edition

.....

Greenspan had already concluded that a criminal case was inevitable. Radler had pulled out of the joint defence agreement and was turning to become a prosecution witness. Certainly the disaster in Delaware had been closely watched by Radler’s Chicago attorney, Anton Valukas, a former United States attorney. The trial for Conrad Black would not be in New York as many suspected but rather in Chicago, the headquarters of Hollinger International. Chicago was an idiosyncratic town with its own character and personality. Black entrusted Greenspan with the task of choosing his Chicago counsel. “You pick the team,” he instructed him.

For Greenspan there was only one viable choice. The attorney with the best reputation in the city, Dan Webb, was out of the running because he was a law partner of Governor Thompson’s. Thompson was the chair of the audit committee at Hollinger International and would be a key witness in the case. That left Ed Genson, whom Greenspan knew because his daughter Juliana had worked for Genson for several years. The two men had dinner together every time Greenspan was in Chicago. Genson talked a great deal about himself at these dinners but Eddie found him to be colourful and amusing.
