The trial at a glance

December 10, 2007

DEFENDANTS: Conrad Black, 63, former chairman and CEO of newspaper publisher Hollinger International Inc.; Jack Boultbee, 65, former Hollinger chief financial officer; Peter Atkinson, 60, former Hollinger vice president and general counsel; Mark Kipnis, 59, corporate counsel in Hollinger International's Chicago headquarters.

CHARGES: Mail and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, racketeering and tax fraud; Black faced 13 counts, Boultbee 11, Kipnis, 11, Atkinson 7.

KEY ISSUE: Noncompete payments from sales of Hollinger newspapers -- made in exchange for promises not to compete in the same markets where the papers circulated. Prosecutors said the money should have gone to Hollinger's shareholders, not the executives.

VERDICT: Black and his three co-defendants were all found guilty of three counts of mail fraud. Black was also found guilty of obstruction of justice. AP
