I would have said "Jurors in Black trial"...

From NBC5.com...

Black Jurors Unimpressed By Star Witness

Government Witness No Shining Star

CHICAGO -- Jurors in the trial of media mogul Conrad Black said the government’s star witness didn’t impress them.
Former Chicago Sun-Times Publisher David Radler was Black's partner in building the Hollinger International empire over three decades. He pleaded guilty to mail fraud and agreed to testify in exchange for a lenient 29-month sentence and a 250-thousand dollar fine.
Black and three former Hollinger executives were found guilty Friday of illegally pocketing money that should have gone to stockholders.
After the verdict, jurors told Chicago newspapers Radler's testimony left many issues unclear. Juror Monica Prince told the Sun-Times she felt Radler was trying to confuse the jury and "was covering up" for Black.
Juror Tina Kadisak told the Tribune that Radler's testimony wasn't the "smoking gun" the jury had expected.
