El Comercio reveals that the sentence contains 8390 paragraphs, 1258 footnotes and is typed in Century font, size 11. Well, thanks for that! The dedicated Spanish speakers among you can, however, read the whole thing on the website of the Peruvian Supreme Court.
Much more usefully, Associated Press presents us with key dates in Fujimori's rise and fall.

The Washington Post has a rather nice slideshow of Fujimori opponents and supporters outside the court.
