I love you too DG  I'm of the Male Persuasion BTW, but don't hold that against me. Just so you know, some of your avatars have been a source of
great distraction for me. 
This is another thread that got sucked into PTS for some reason which is pretty much a death sentence for what I feel to be some pretty important
information which pertains to the NWO, the workings of, and the people behind it. We should have an option to raise some kind of offical objection to
a thread being moved, not that I have anything against PTS, but Richard Perle and Hollinger INC is hardly a purely political issue IMO.

Well, it's landed in the right forum for the local FSME to notice an excellent post I otherwise would have missed.
Have some applause!

I was always under the impression that a hung jury was just that, a hung jury... apprently not however in this case, the judge told them basicly to
'get back in there' until you reach a verdict...

Keep thinking, undecided Black jurors told
July 12, 2007
CHICAGO: Jurors in the fraud trial of Canadian-born media tycoon Conrad Black told the judge yesterday they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict
after nine days of deliberations.
But they returned to their deliberations after being told by US District Court judge Amy St Eve they had to make "every reasonable effort" to reach
a unanimous decision.
Odd there's no mention of Richard Perle or any of Black's other nefarious connections... Smells oddly like whitewash to me.
All this is headed towards if they are found guilty is a forfeiture? Shouldn't these guys going to be prison?

Lawyers in the Conrad Black fraud trial were back in a Chicago courtroom Tuesday discussing forfeiture penalties, while the jury continued its
deliberations into a ninth day.
Judge Amy St. Eve recalled the lawyers to discuss how much Black and his co-defendants may have to repay if they are found guilty.
St. Eve said she wants to clarify instructions on the forfeiture in case the defendants decide to let the jury decide the financial penalty. The
defendants can elect to have the judge or the jury decide how much money they may have to repay.
The prosecution wants forfeiture of $92 million US, if the men are convicted.

Conrad Black, the peer who once owned The Daily Telegraph, has asked for a pardon from President Bush as part of a last ditch attempt to get out of
jail early.
Looks like Conrad Black is asking Bush for a pardon, will be interesting to see if it happens. I just read that Cheney was indicted for the Prison
Scandal in Texas so Bush might have more than a few folks looking for a pardon in the last few days of his presidency.

US Supreme Court to review Conrad Black's conviction
The US Supreme Court agreed yesterday to consider overturning the fraud conviction Conrad Black, the former owner of The Daily Telegraph, who is
serving a 6 1/2 year sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice.

The court's justices will hear arguments later this year over the convictions of Black, the former chairman and chief executive of Hollinger
International, and two other former executives in connection with payments of $5.5 million (£3.6m) they received from a Hollinger subsidiary.
The men argued that they did not commit fraud because they did no harm to the company. They turned to the highest US court after the 7th Circuit Court
of Appeals in Chicago upheld their convictions....
Apart from the Telegraph titles, Hollinger once owned the Chicago Sun-Times, the Jerusalem Post and hundreds of community papers across the US and
Canada.
I'd almost bet money on this conviction being overturned by the SCOTUS.

S&F twitchy. Hmm.
Well deserved even though it's almost 5 years later.
