The jurors who convicted Conrad Black of fraud in July told the Chicago Sun-Times that “justice is served” when he received a 6½-year sentence on Monday.

“Justice is served,” Monica Prince, who works as a railroad billing clerk, told the Sun-Times in an article Tuesday. “He knew he was doing wrong. And it's only right that he serve his time.”

Black is expected to appeal the sentence, and his lawyers are expected to “scrutinize comments made by jurors to the media, to see if deliberation problems could be used to upset the conviction,” the Sun-Times article stated.

Black was convicted in July of three counts of fraud and one count of obstruction of justice, for his part in a scheme to funnel millions of dollars from his former newspaper publishing company (then Hollinger International), now the Sun-Times Media Group.

The sentence handed down by Judge Amy St. Eve Monday included a $125,000 fine and an order to pay $6.1 million in forfeiture, the Toronto Star reported Tuesday.

Tina Kadisak, a hairdresser from a Chicago suburb, told the Sun-Times she also thought Black's sentence was fair. “I wasn't expecting anything more than that,” she said. In Canadian media, Kadisak was quoted saying another juror threatened to bring in a gun while the jury was deliberating, a comment that she said was taken out of context.

Kadisak said jurors got along for the most part, although there had been “definitely moments of yelling and screaming” during deliberations. “Everyone's got their own breaking point, when no one's comprehending the point you're trying to make.”

Prince told the Sun-Times that although jurors had disagreements, they were civil to one another.
