Conrad Black in the media
Has anyone else been watching the lead up to the Conrad Black trial ? When watching its seem to alternate between either "hes guilty" or "this is gonna be fun viewing". Not that I personally believe anything this guy says, in my book hes just a lying thief...but sensationalizing this as yet another "trial of the century" is a little worrysome. It brings into question the very basics of justice....Can anyone get a fair trial with a media firestorm around them ?
This post makes me think about Scott Peterson....did they even have a body during that trial ? Gloria Allred was always on the news talking about how guilty he was to the point that people were standing outside cheering for the death sentence of someone they never met. Did Canada do the right thing during the Bernardo case ? Stopping the press from publishing stuff would sure be tricky now, I think we have talked about this in class.
If anyone has ever sat thru that stupid nancy grace program, you can see how the line between a trial and a circus is being blurred....any thoughts ?

Yes, remarkably two bodies which should have been a giant red flag that something was wrong with their theory. What they didn't have was any actual evidence to connect Peterson with the crime - he was convicted and sent to death row for being an adulterer, the only thing they did prove.
