Fitzgerald: No Comment On Blago

July 22, 2010 - 2:12 PM | by: Robert Lee

CHICAGO- The U.S. Attorney responsible for bringing the charges against the former Governor of Illinois, refused to share any reaction today on the case as it heads to closing arguments on Monday. ” You can keep asking questions, but your going to get the same non-answer,” said Patrick Fitzgerald today at a joint FBI, U.S. Attorney and City of Chicago Police press conference on a large drug and weapons bust in Chicago.

The former Governor’s defense rested yesterday without calling any witnesses including the former Governor himself, saying the prosecution never proved their case or brought on the expected witnesses, bringing to a close a trial that had been expected to last much longer.
