And Randall Samborn too... ;-)
From a Conrad Black blogsite:
About 3:25 CT, it was announced that Conrad Black had left the courtroom, evidently in shock, saying nothing. Edward Greenspan read a statement saying that Conrad Black was acquitted of the main charges; that there will be an appeal, and that "there are viable legal grounds" for one; and, that the prosecution's recommendation for a sentence will be vigourously disputed. Edward Genson expressed surprise that it had ended, and said that "the justice system works." Unlike Csr. Greenspan, who seemed defiant, he was unemotional.
The prosecutors' press conference, with Patrick J. Fitzgerald acting as spokeman, began at about 3:35 CT. Csr. Fitzgerald said that he was “gratified” by the verdict, gave a short speech on the government protecting the shareholders, and then thanked the people who worked on the case. He claimed that he will be taking a “conservative” estimate, from Eric Sussman, regarding the requested sentence – approximately 15 ½ to 20 years – for Conrad Black, and for the forfeiture. He also complimented the jurors.

I like the name Fantastic Four plus the great one Randall Samborn. All do a great job and we're proud of their work. They are all a great example of the DOJ, as they have no Attorney General to work with.
