Defense rests in East St. Louis "$10 per vote" fraud trial

The defense in the East St. Louis vote fraud trial rested today, a day after (see yesterday's post) the prosecution rested its case. Closing arguments, according to the Belleville News-Democrat, will begin Tuesday.

The trial, a bumpy ride for everyone involved, has been going on for three weeks, so the defense attorneys must be pretty confident of an acquital.

Marathon Pundit will be closely watching the East St. Louis story.
