Rezko Trial Wrapping Up

By Margaret Lyons in News on May 5, 2008 6:00PM

The prosecution rested its case against Tony Rezko today, and the defense declined to call any witnesses. Judge Amy St. Eve asked Rezko if he understood what waiving his right to testify meant, and satisfied that he did, she took three defense motions under advisement. St. Eve is going to give the jury a week off and reconvene Monday for closing arguments.

On the off chance that someone is considering making a Tony Rezko movie, please cast Miguel Sandoval as Mr. Rezko.

Perhaps the film could be called Rezkoalition or Only My Mom Calls Me Antoin. [Trib, S-T, AP Rezko photo, Sandoval photo via NBC]
