In Conclusion

Jurors getting stir-crazy at the Rezko trial. (I imagine Tony's getting a little fidgety too.) AP:
The federal court jury deliberating charges against political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko has told the judge it plans to work late two nights this week "to help conclude our decision."

The jury handed U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve a note last week saying it wanted to break off deliberations at noon Tuesday but work until 5:50 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.

Puerto Rican primary on Sunday, June 1st, then Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota on June 3rd. Isn't this really one of the reasons Hillary is staying in? Barack Obama's fundraiser buddy Tony Rezko has been used to living large. He's not going to like being locked up, assuming that's the jury's decision. But if he's acquitted, some may believe that cleans the slate for Obama. Others may not.
