New Blago Trial Gets Start Date

Mark your calendars, folks: the Blago retrial will kick off the week of January 4, 2011, well after the general election tomfoolery has settled down. Exactly which day the trial will be announced at a later date. Team Blago attorney Sam Adam Sr disputed reports he and his son had withdrawn from the case; Zagel issued a deadline of October 1 for attorneys to withdraw. Of course, Blago will be going it alone this time around.
