Nixon biographer gets 6 to 8 6 1/2 years for fraud

From The Globe and Mail:

Conrad Black will be sentenced to between 6.5 and 8.1 years in prison, the judge presiding over the case said Monday.

Judge Amy St. Eve said she is considering a sentence of between 78 and 97 months for media mogul Conrad Black, and is now hearing arguments on what penalty to ultimately impose in his fraud and obstruction case.

Black, for those who don’t recognize the name, is a respected political biographer whose most recent book is The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhouse Nixon (McClelland & Stewart), published earlier this fall.

[Update: 6 1/2 years and a US$125,000 fine.]
