Because a court order becomes a separate issue itself. Same as a contempt of court situation. You can be found innocent of the charges at the trial, but if you flaunt the rules of the court at the trial, you can still be put in jail for flaunting the rules. Flaunting the rules is a separate issue from that of the trial itself.
Conrad Black either failed to grasp that reality, or thought he was above the law of the court. Either way, he paid the penalty for his actions.
