Jury selection concern in Conrad Black trial

Former media mogul Conrad Black’s racketeering and fraud trial resumed its search for a jury yesterday, with some prospective jurors expressing concerns about business corruption.

“I’m sure it happens all the time, and I hope they all get caught,” one said.

But most people interviewed yesterday said they could give a fair trial to the 62-year-old British lord accused of fleecing his Hollinger International newspaper empire of €61 million.
