The conflicted jury in the Conrad Black case, which last week told the court it couldn't agree on all of the 16 counts against him, has returned a guilty verdict on three fraud charges and obstruction of justice.

Black faced 20 years in prison on the most serious counts. The three fraud charges carry a maximum penalty of five years each.
