U.S. markets recover from steep losses
CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Journalists covering the fraud trial of fallen media baron Conrad Black in Chicago have been warned be nice or be gone.
U.S. District Judge James Holderman, who presides over the trial beginning March 5, set his first ground rules dealing with the often rowdy press, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Wednesday.
Black's lawyer was knocked down by surging reporters and cameras during arraignment. Canadians were blamed.
Holderman has set up a media area in the federal courthouse lobby where reporters must stay during proceedings and must not leave to track down anyone for an interview or picture. To do otherwise is to risk contempt of court and expulsion.
Black, a British lord and former CEO of Hollinger International, which owned the Sun-Times and other publications, is accused with other ex-Hollinger executives of defrauding the company of $84 million.
