The Week in Review with Joel Weisman
On this week's edition of The Week in Review with Joel Weisman: The Blagojevich jury has spoken, finding the former Governor guilty on only one of 24 counts; the prosecution vows to retry the Blagojevich brothers as the defense warns about the high cost of a new trial. Meanwhile, Rod Blagojevich launches a national media tour, and we examine what effect the trial will have on the November election. Mayor Daley suspends his revenue director over a "stupid" memo pushing police to write more tickets to fill city coffers. And in sports, the Cubs trade Derrek Lee to the Atlanta Braves as the White Sox slide into second place.
