One guy we just haven’t heard enough of as of late has been ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
His attorneys told U.S. District Judge James Zagel during a 10 minute hearing Wednesday in Chicago that they need more time to listen to secret recordings that are expected to be key in the upcoming trial, the Associated Press reported. The famous ex-governor did not attend.
Blago, as he’s sometimes referred to in the press, is charged with trying to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat and shaking down campaign donors.
A status hearing is set for next month. Trial is expected to begin next year.
