The case against former media baron Conrad Black is centered around non-compete payments, with a jury sifting through thousands of documents about payments from newspaper sales, which will likely determine whether the former head of the Hollinger International newspaper empire goes to jail.

The trial has taken three and a half months, and is now being debated by a jury.

Along with Black, former Hollinger executives Jack Boultbee and Peter Atkinson, along with Chicago lawyer Mark Kipnis, are accused of participating in schemes in which more than $60 million was funneled from the company. All have pleaded not guilty.
