Poor old Conrad

[Kahnee]

Disgraced media baron Conrad Black has been sentenced to six-and-a-half years in jai.

Lord Black of Crossharbour swindled shareholders out of more than six million dollars (£2.96 million) in a fraud conspiracy with three colleagues.

Last month, Black said he would beat the charges against him on appeal.

The jury found the 63-year-old illegally received 3.5 million dollars (£1.7 million) as they convicted him of three counts of fraud and one of obstruction in the 60 million-dollar (£29.6 million) fraud trial in Chicago in July.

Judge Amy St Eve sentenced Black to 78 months in jail and ordered he surrender to the prison in Florida on March 3.

He was also ordered to pay a 125,000 dollar fine (£61,000) and will be supervised for two years after his release.
