After 18 weeks of testimony, federal prosecutors have rested their case in the corruption trial of former Illinois Governor George Ryan. Outside of Illinois, the Republican is best known for emptying Illinois' death row, as well his appearance on the Oprah show a few days after he left office to discuss those commutations.
Ryan faces charges that include racketeering corruption, mail fraud, and tax fraud.
Dan K. Webb, a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, is Ryan's lead attorney, and he immediately began presenting the case for the defense.
