Rezko jurors may be close to verdict

Is a verdict coming soon in the trial of Democratic political insider Antoin "Tony" Rezko? Here's what the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting this morning:

Jurors in Tony Rezko's corruption trial, perhaps giving a sign they are nearing a verdict, said Tuesday they will work late today and Thursday to "help conclude our decision."

The jury ended its deliberations early Tuesday -- at noon -- so one juror could go to a job interview, according to a note, from May 21, that U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve read in court.

To make up for the short day, jurors said they will stay until 5:50 p.m. today and Thursday. They already had indicated they would not meet Friday.
