"Rezko has been a major contributor to (Gov.)Blagojevich's campaign fund and is believed to have raised thousands of additional dollars for him and various other Illinois politicians.

Rezko is charged in a 24-count indictment with pressuring businesses seeking work before two state regulatory boards to make campaign contributions and payoffs.

Once the estimated eight- to 12-week trial is over, Rezko still will face federal charges that he swindled General Electric Capital Corp. out of $10 million in connection with the sale of two pizza restaurant chains."

"The upcoming trial is starting to attract a national media spotlight because Rezko also was a contributor and fundraiser for presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. Reporters from The Los Angeles Times and NBC News as well as local newsmen were on hand in Judge Amy J. St. Eve's courtroom Tuesday."

2. On the other hand, Rezko was in Lebanon with his family and $400,000

when the indictment came down, and he came back to face trial.

Reading over some of the articles, I wonder if some people were disappointed that he did come back. If he'd stayed away, he would forever be the indicted "Tony" Rezko. Now that he's here to face trial, the prosecutors are going to have to have some good evidence.
