The Jury has asked the judge to allow them to render a partial verdict in the Corad Black Trial after informing the judge that they could not reach a verdict on one or more counts. Of course no one has any idea what verdicts the jury has reached on what counts, but I would suspect that in light of the two notes that the jury sent to the judge, that the jury members are pretty far apart on some of the counts. The judge has asked the jury to sleep on it and see how they feel in the morning.... i doubt it will change much but you never know. As such, look for verdicts tomorrow.

After following the Conrad Black trial closely, i would not want to be federally prosecuted in the USA. The prosecution resmbles persecution. The charging of Mark Kipnis is essentially a malicious prosecution. The State essentially led no evidence against him, rather he was lumped in because he would not cooperate...unlike numerous witnesses used by the prosecution who had cut deals with the SEC to avoid regulatory proceedings.
