Will Black do time?

I just checked the headlines and I don't see a verdict, so I guess the jury is still out on Conrad Black and his cronies.

What do you think....will they find him guilty on some or all of the charges?....will he do time in the big house?

I predict he will go down on some of the charges only, and will have to do modest jail time......

Rumour from a pal who is a businss reporter is that Black will off himself before he is humiliated with a prison sentence.

that would be very dramatic, wouldn't it?

Do you think it would be out of character? I don't.

My guess is that psychologically Black is a narcissist. They rarely commit suicide although they have suicide ideation according to the experts. A bipolar personality is more likely than a narcissist to actually commit suicide again according to the experts. So lets hope he's a narcissist.

I sincerely hope that suicide would not be his choice if he has to do jail time. No one should believe their life that bleak.

I believe he has another book lined up to write and will find the time spent alone really productive although humiliating. Martha Stewart came through it and is now seen to be completely absolved - more complete absolution than Catholic confession!

Interesting thoughts....he seems to love the attention, and I think he truly believes he is some kind of superior being. As a tag team, he and his wife are mostly just really annoying pompous rich people.

I'm sure he has some political connections since he is media and will probably only get a slap on the fingers. We'll see.

You know what Barretta always said. "If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime".
Words of wisdom.
