Black to remain free on bond pending sentencing

Former media mogul Conrad Black may remain free on bond pending sentencing on last week’s conviction of fraud and obstruction of justice, a federal judge ruled today.

Black, 62, who once renounced his Canadian citizenship to become a member of the British House of Lords, was found guilty last Friday by a federal jury of three counts of mail fraud and one count of obstruction of justice for spiriting documents out of his Toronto office in defiance of a court order.
