The federal judge presiding over Conrad Black’s fraud case told the former media mogul yesterday she would resentence him on June 24th.
The federal appeals court in Chicago ordered Black resentenced by trial judge Amy St Eve of the US District Court after rescinding two of three fraud convictions against him, based on a US Supreme Court ruling restricting applications of the “honest services” law in fraud cases.
The Canadian-born Conrad Black, a member of Britain’s House of Lords, was released from prison on bail in July after serving nearly 2½ years of his 6½-year sentence.
Black (66), faces resentencing on a remaining fraud count and obstruction of justice.
He must now reappear in court for a May 9th status hearing.
