Fast Eddie Pleads Guilty But Still Faces Fine

Even though former 10th Ward Alderman Edward "Fast Eddie" Vrdolyak pleaded guilty to his recent charges, he still may face a fine because of the unexpected admittance. The jury had already arrived at the courthouse for the start of the trial when Vrdolyak had a change of heart, costing the court a fee of $6000 for the jurors and U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur is now mulling over making Vrdolyak pay for it all. There are no breaks for the felonious.
