Me and Paddy yelped in glee and punched the air when I read out the verdict after spending about half an hour frantically refreshing Reuters when they said the jury had finally come to a verdict which would be announced soon.
Sometimes the universe turns itself into a novel. Nobody would have believed, if I described this man to them, that he was an evil baron called Lord Black, would they?
See, a lot of people hate him because he renounced Canadian citizenship to be Lord Black. That's the one thing he did that I do sympathize with, because it'd be totally awesome to be an evil baron called Lord Black.
I think that the torrid tropical airs would harm his delicate Northern disposition, at least if there aren't natives to fan him. Perhaps he'd be more suited to a Siberian gulag.
Description (from March 07) of where Lord Tubby-Black might end up in the American prison system (possibly Elkton Correctional Institution in northern Ohio), and how he will live.
"And Tayoun has some extra advice for Black should he be incarcerated: keep your nose down, be friendly, but discreet, and above all, "don't try to show people how intelligent you are."
The sad thing is that everyone knows how bad those prisons are (I doubt Lord Emo will go to one; he's richer than God) and no one sees fit to comment on a place where an "inmate [threw] boiling water on another's face, and beat him with a combination lock stuffed in a sock."
Still, it amuses me to think of Black spending the rest of his life in a miserable place. Also, tee hee: "He can try to maintain his lordship's ways, but I would hide that title if I were him. It could be used against him."
Well, they still dropped most of the charges that were related to his actual fraud. He might only to die in prison due to his ill-conceived document retrieval procedure after the original crimes were committed.
What really pisses me off is that the RCMP never found anything wrong to charge him with, after investigating this thing themselves. WTF?

(Alas, it isn't class war time yet. It's more like class boot camp or something, where they cast out the unworthy.)

If he'd prefer to serve his sentence on a tropical island there's always Guantanamo.

I'll be shocked if he serves more than 3 years. It'll be a Libby scenario, I bet.
