Conrad Black Headed Back to Jail

The former media baron was found guilty of fraud in 2007

Conrad Black, the former Hollinger International chairman and CEO who was found guilty of mail fraud and obstruction of justice in 2007, is headed back to jail.

U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve ruled Friday that Black must spend three and a half years in prison, a reduction from the six and a half years that she had originally given Black in 2007. Black served 29 months of that sentence before being released on bail pending appeal in 2010, and the judge said that she would take that time out of his new sentence.
