U.S. Supreme Court will review Black's fraud conviction


The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the case of former media tycoon Conrad Black. The appeal is Black's last chance after the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago upheld his July 2007 conviction last year, refusing even to hear his arguments for appeal.

The Montreal-born Black, who once ran the fourth-largest newspaper chain in the world is now serving a 6½-year prison sentence.
