I hate to speculate upon the behavior of a United States federal judge, but it seemed to me that St. Eve was angry about something and she chose to direct that anger at Conrad Black, a man who has been terribly victimized by the judicial system. I wonder why St. Eve, who I have seen on the bench several times, would act in such an uncharacteristic fashion.
Of course, Conrad behaved like a supreme gentleman, never hinting that he was disappointed in the court for violating his Sixth Amendment Right, the very thing that caused his conviction and subsequent time in prison.
As we walked out of the courtroom, Conrad thanked me again for coming. It was a great pleasure to make his acquaintance again, and I hope that his later court date will go more smoothly than his first one.

I never believed the government’s case against Black.
Dear Joe,
Thanks for this very generous piece. I must say that I did not find St. Eve as objectionable as you did… I could have done a lot worse with judges than I did with her.
Best wishes. Yours, Conrad
Dear Conrad,
With all due respect, sir, I am entitled to my opinion. And, my opinion is that St. Eve was very objectionable. You on the other hand sometimes see the easier side of things before anything else. I admire you for that.
Sincerely,
JF
Conrad should be free. He is not a criminal. The government should go after real crooks.
Dear Joe,
As you have stated in your article above, Mary Vallis also mentioned the kiss you left on Lady Black’s hand in court. Read it here, http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/Lord+Lady+Black+looks+happiest+with+Amiel+side/3316416/story.html
Dear Jillian,
Thank you for pointing out the evidence. However, the fact that Conrad Black commented – in a positive way – on my article should be all the evidence needed to credit my integrity. Thank you.
