The Week in Review with Joel Weisman
On tonight's edition: Rod Blagojevich's defense team rests without putting one witness on the stand, including the former Governor himself; another Chicago police officer is killed -- the third in two months -- as he was washing a new car outside his Park Manor home; despite a promise of more police and no new taxes, Mayor Daley's popularity falls to a new low in a Chicago Tribune poll; the city digs deep into its financial reserves, leaving just $180 million from the controversial billion dollar parking meter lease deal; and Chicago-area construction resumes as the labor strike is settled. And in sports, "Sweet Lou" Piniella will end his run as Cubs manager at the end of the season. Will former Cub Ryne Sandberg or Yankees manager Joe Girardi replace him?
