CHICAGO -- Conrad Black appeared for the first day of his criminal trial this morning accompanied by his wife and daughter.
"I'm feeling fine," he told reporters, shaking hands with some of them as he entered a room off to the side of courtroom 1241. More on the story.
But Fitzgerald won't be on the prosecution team in the courtroom for the Black trial. He is entrusting that job to four seasoned young pros: Eric H. Sussman, Jeffrey H. Cramer, Julie B. Ruder and Edward Siskel -- nephew of the late Chicago Tribune and CBS 2 movie critic Gene Siskel.Cramer is to deliver the government's opening statement, which will be Monday if all goes according to schedule.
