Blagojevich trial defense request, Trial expected to last 3 to 4 months, Prosecution rested case Tuesday

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”…Abraham Lincoln

The prosecution in the Rod Blagojevich trial rested their case on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Tony Rezko, Stuart Levine and many other potential witnesses were not called.
