More news about the Blagojevich trial

Prosecutors and lawyers for Springfield power broker William Cellini have filed an agreed motion in federal court that would remove Cellini from the sweeping corruption trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, expected to start next year.

The filing notes that the September death of political fundraiser Christopher Kelly eliminated the need to keep Cellini in the case.

Blagojevich wants trial date moved to election season

Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* As if the Democratic Party doesn’t have enough problems, Rod Blagojevich now wants his trial moved to September - the heart of the fall campaign season

Lawyers for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich are seeking to delay the start of his trial next summer, court records show.

The attorneys want the the trial moved from June to September to give them time to review a ruling expected in the spring from the U.S. Supreme Court on the “honest services” provision of the federal mail fraud statute.

That statute criminalizes conduct in which public officials–and others–breach the “honest services” they owe to the public or under their contracts.

“While a subsequent filing will challenge the integration of ‘intangible rights-honest services,’ this court will judicially note that the U.S. Supreme Court has a trio of (such) cases on its docket,” the motion states.

The Supremes could strike down the honest services law, or at least part of its application, so Blagojevich does have a point.

But the political impact of a September trial would be even bigger than if it was held in June, as scheduled. The guy is just so unpredictable and hates Pat Quinn and the rest of the Democratic establishment so much that he’s liable to say or do anything during the election.

* Meanwhile

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and former Bear Terry “Tank” Johnson are among those who wrote letters late last year praising the character of former Chicago Ald. Edward Vrdolyak before he was sentenced to probation for fraud in a controversial decision by a federal judge.

Documents made public this week show Johnson and Urlacher wrote letters to U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur, who sentenced Vrodlyak to 5 years of probation in February. Vrdolyak had been captured on an undercover recording discussing a plan to collect a bogus finder’s fee in a corrupt real estate sale. […]

Johnson — now with the Cincinnati Bengals — wrote that he was friends with the former alderman while Johnson was in Chicago. Johnson was in court here last month testifying in the case of his childhood friend’s murder in a River North nightclub. He admitted lying to police because he feared further legal trouble could end his football career. […]

Urlacher wrote that he met Vrdolyak through Vrdolyak’s youngest son, Eddie. He wrote that he felt like part of the family.

…Adding… The photo used by NBC5 Chicago on their Blagojevich trial date story seems pretty appropriate…

McKenna may continue his spending spree thru the holidays - Plus: Gutierrez endorses Quinn; Hynes zings guv; Ballot lottery results

Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Steve Huntley has a bit of news today about the GOP gubernatorial primary race. Andy McKenna may keep spending on TV ads throughout the holidays

A February primary usually means a timeout in campaigning while voters are preoccupied with the holidays. But McKenna is exploring using his money advantage to press his message in December.

* Congressman Luis Gutierrez has endorsed Pat Quinn. From a press release…

Pointing to Pat Quinn’s decades-long fight for “kitchen table” issues and reforms that really matter to working families, U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) today announced his endorsement of Governor Quinn.

“Pat Quinn is a champion for consumers, for senior citizens, for veterans, for Latinos and for all of the people of our state,” Gutierrez said at a news conference at Caballeros De San Juan (Credit Union 1) in Chicago. “Governor Quinn understands that every day in Illinois, families are sitting at their kitchen tables making tough decisions about how to make ends meet. Pat Quinn is the person I want in the Governor’s office helping those families.”

* Dan Hynes got off a pretty good zinger in his first ever head-to-head with Gov. Pat Quinn…

“All of a sudden [Hynes] says he’s for a graduated income tax, but it was on the ballot in 2004, he voted against it,” Quinn said. […]

“If the competition is who was for raising taxes first, I guess you win,” [Hynes] told Quinn.

Heh.

The two met at a Rock Island County Democratic “town hall” last night. Quinn appeared to be a bit testy at times. For instance, when asked if they would support whomever won the Democratic primary, Hynes said he would…

Quinn said Hynes’ answer couldn’t be trusted, but didn’t answer the question directly himself, only saying, “I’m a Democrat. I always have been.”

* Dock Walls slammed Gov. Quinn yesterday for challenging his nominating petitions

Walls is the only African American running for governor. He says Quinn is trying to knock him off the ballot to improve his own chances of getting most of the black vote in the primary election.

“it’s racially based challenge of petitions of a candidate who’s qualified to be on the ballot for a nefarious purpose,” said Walls.

A Quinn spokesman says Walls has experience on both sides of the petition challenge process. The spokesman says Walls once failed to get on the ballot for city clerk because he didn’t have enough legitimate signatures and another time unsuccessfully challenged Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s nominating petitions.

* The Illinois State Board of Elections held its ballot placement lottery yesterday

Topping ballots in Feb. 2 primaries for governor will be William “Dock” Walls of Chicago for the Democrats and state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale for the Republicans.

In the races for nomination for U.S. Senate, the lottery showed that Robert Marshall of Burr Ridge will be on top in the Democratic contest, while Don Lowery of Golconda is to lead the GOP ballot.

Ballot placement is far more important for down-ballot races

In the field of six Republicans and six Democrats seeking the post of lieutenant governor, attorney and family businessman Don Tracy of Springfield finished first in the GOP while state Rep. Art Turner of Chicago won the top spot among Democrats. Turner’s petitions face a challenge.

In the race among three Democrats and three Republicans for the state comptroller nomination, Democratic state Rep. David Miller of Lynwood got the first ballot position while former state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka won the GOP’s top placement for the office.

* Democratic US Senate candidate Jacob Meister is trying to get a bit of traction by attacking his opponents

Meister called state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias a “career politician” and made note of Cheryle Jackson’s work as a one-time spokeswoman for disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

“Cheryle Jackson comes right out of the inner sanctum of the Blagojevich administration,” Meister said. […]

Meister criticized former Chicago inspector general David Hoffman for trying to make the race about ethics.

“Hoffman is playing the slick game of trying to make this election about corruption and his plan for fighting corruption,” Meister said.

He has a very long row to hoe, to say the least. Trying to get your name known before Feb. 2nd is pretty near impossible without a multi-million dollar warchest.

We need help and we need it now

Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* My Sun-Times column today is about an issue I’ve discussed several times since the federal “stimulus” plan was first debated. The states are getting the shaft and it is hurting everyone

This winter, when you’re freezing your tail off waiting extra long for a city bus because of CTA budget cuts, you might want to blame President Obama.

OK, maybe not just Obama. The people responsible for the financial systems meltdown started this disaster.

The economic meltdown that began on Wall Street and then morphed into our current “Great Recession” has all but dried up state and local government revenues.

Obama did support a major cash infusion to state and local governments, but he backed away from a more ambitious plan when “moderate” Republicans and rural Democrats objected. You can blame them for your long bus wait as well.

Illinois did get some money out of the deal, but it wasn’t nearly enough, and the resulting deficit is absolutely crippling.

The political climate makes it impossible to raise taxes to stem the state’s frightening wave of red ink. It’s so bizarre out there that moderate Republican gubernatorial candidate Kirk Dillard now refers to Obama as a “socialist.” That’s the same Kirk Dillard who made a TV ad for Obama’s presidential campaign.

Without revenues, Illinois has been cutting services, borrowing short-term and delaying billions in payments to human service providers and other vendors.

And because the state is in such a bind, it can’t help properly fund the CTA. Gov. Quinn came up with a plan this week to let senior citizens keep their free rides, but it amounts to chump change, and the overall reorganization plan merely delays the day of final reckoning for a year or two — if that.

Meanwhile, transit routes are being slashed and jobs are being cut during the worst employment market in memory.

Even worse, an absolutely essential public asset is being allowed to whither on the vine. Politicians such as Quinn fear that a fare increase will result in a voter backlash. Voters are just fed up with Illinois politicians getting in their pockets, so he and the others do have a point. But how long can the transit system remain viable if it’s being scaled back year after year?

Now, back to Obama.

The projected state deficit is about 2 percent of Illinois’ gross domestic product. Because we can’t print money or borrow long-term like the federal government does, the deficit is a direct drag on Illinois’ economy. For instance, when the state pays a vendor six months late, that vendor has to borrow to make payroll, and because businesses can’t borrow like they used to, workers are let go, or vendors go under.

Illinois is not alone. Revenues have dried up for almost every state and local government in the nation, so they’ve cut, cut, cut. While Obama is trying to hit the economic gas pedal, state and local governments are slamming on the economic brakes. National liberal blogger Duncan Black has taken to calling governors “50 little Hoovers” for their Herbert Hoover-like economic policies of cutting their budgets during an economic catastrophe.

Black, who has a Ph.D. in economics from Brown University, is part of a growing chorus of people who are demanding that the federal government do something to prevent state and local governments from derailing a recovery.

The Democrats who run things in Washington, including Obama, ought to listen. If they want to get re-elected next year, they have to fix the economy. And they can’t make the fix stick if every forward step they take is partially or totally nullified by the states’ budget problems.

Your long bus wait is just a symptom of the overall problem. And it’s going to get worse unless Obama acts soon.

They got very little right, as it turns out

Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Eric Zorn takes us through the long, disgusting road that was the wrongful prosecution of Rolando Cruz and Alex Hernandez. The context is a statement by DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett during Brian Dugan’s trial in the Jeanine Nicarico case that eventually led to Dugan’s death sentence: “We got it right! We got it right, Brian! You raped and killed Jeanine Nicarico!”

Zorn disagrees…

Dugan’s public defender told DuPage County authorities this fact in 1985 after Dugan was arrested and confessed to a strikingly similar rape and murder in LaSalle County. But DuPage didn’t get it. They’d already put Rolando Cruz and Alex Hernandez onto death row for the crime, and so dismissed Dugan as a liar.

A state police investigator subjected Dugan’s claim to extensive scrutiny and came away “totally convinced” he was telling the truth. DuPage didn’t get it.

A series of journalists beginning with Rob Warden, now director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law, pored over the evidence and, to a one, concluded that the county had cynically botched the prosecution of Cruz and Hernandez and that Dugan was Jeanine’s killer beyond any doubt. DuPage didn’t get it.

Activists all over the world used the Nicarico case to highlight the dangerous flaws in the capital justice system. DuPage didn’t get it. An assistant Illinois attorney general assigned to contest Cruz’s appeal examined all the evidence in 1992 and resigned rather than participate in what she deemed “this ugly prosecution.” DuPage didn’t get it.

Under the leadership of then-State’s Attorney Jim Ryan, the same Jim Ryan who is now running in the Republican gubernatorial primary, DuPage County continued to brand Dugan a liar and to press the state to execute Cruz and Hernandez. Thursday afternoon, Ryan issued an extraordinary statement acknowledging that he failed to achieve a just outcome in the Cruz-Hernandez case. “And for that I am sorry,” he said.

In 1995, a new round of DNA tests performed at the insistence of Cruz’s defense attorneys excluded Cruz as the source of the semen found inside the victim and put Dugan in the 0.03 percent of the male Caucasian population that could have been the source. DuPage didn’t still didn’t get it, though in attempting to retry Cruz prosecutors began at last admitting that Dugan was “involved” in the crime.

* Meanwhile, all but two Republican candidates for governor support lifting the death penalty moratorium first imposed by Gov. George Ryan or abolishing the death penalty altogether…

Of the seven Republicans, only political consultant turned candidate Dan Proft opposed the death penalty and only former Attorney General Jim Ryan said he’d keep the moratorium in place.

Proft said he would support abolishing the death penalty. “It’s still a fallible justice system presided over fallible human beings,” he said. He would lift the moratorium only because it was, in his view, an illegal act to begin with. As governor, Proft said he’d use his executive power to stay executions or commute death sentences to life in prison if the death penalty wasn’t abolished.

The rest want the moratorium to go away or don’t have an opinion

“We have rewritten our death penalty statute. The safeguards are in there, so we can lift it now,” said Kirk Dillard, who supports the death penalty. […]

Andy McKenna said he supports the death penalty but wouldn’t say whether he supports or opposes the moratorium, offering only that he’d “review” it if elected.

McKenna doesn’t have many opinions. I talked to him yesterday for a while and got almost nothing out of him on any topic.

* And the SJ-R editorialized yesterday on the subject…

Illinois’ death penalty record from 1976 until 2000 was abysmal: 12 executions, 13 exonerations. The executions stopped in 2000 when Gov. George Ryan declared a moratorium that still stands.

A slew of reforms instituted in the years since now provide safeguards against execution of the innocent. They can’t guarantee that an innocent person will be put to death, but they do guarantee that Illinois’ capital punishment system is more expensive, cumbersome and resource-draining than ever before. Dugan’s attorneys have already indicated they will appeal his sentence, a process that likely will take well over a decade.

We believe the real problem with capital punishment is that it is meted out as an act of revenge, not an act of justice. It is not delivered uniformly according to criminal codes, but by the caprice of individual juries. That’s why Brian Dugan can be killed by the state but the Brown’s Chicken massacre killers and Maurice LaGrone can’t.

Our justice system can never define “the worst of the worst.” It can’t codify revenge. Illinois, which sent 13 innocent people to death row in less than 14 years, can never guarantee it won’t happen again. As our moratorium on executions nears its 10-year anniversary, it’s time for Illinois to recognize this and formally abolish capital punishment.

* And there was reaction from Birkett to Jim Ryan’s apology for repeatedly attempting to execute two innocent men…

In an October 2002 debate, Ryan and Blagojevich were asked to name their biggest political regrets. Ryan did not name any regrets in that forum, not even twice prosecuting Cruz for Nicarico’s murder. […]

On Thursday he said, “If I am elected governor, I will not lift the moratorium on capital punishment until we have created a more limited and accurate system of capital punishment … While Illinois has made significant progress, other reforms have been left on the table, such as a reduction in the number of eligibility factors that trigger the death penalty.”

Ryan’s stance on the moratorium drew condemnation from his one-time top aide in the state’s attorney’s office and the man who successfully prosecuted Dugan, DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett.

“While I respect Jim Ryan, I strongly disagree with his announcement … that if elected governor, he would not lift the moratorium on the death penalty,” Birkett said. “The moratorium put in place by former Gov. George Ryan is legal fiction. The power to pardon, grant clemency or commutation should be used on a case by case basis as the framers of our constitution intended.”

* Lawsuits cost city $136 mil. last year

* City wants to end Shakman decree

Mayor Richard Daley’s administration believes it has cleaned up the city’s corrupt hiring system and early next year will seek to end court oversight of its personnel practices, his top lawyer told aldermen Thursday.

Mara Georges said she plans to tell a federal judge that the city is in “substantial compliance” with the decades-long Shakman decree, the legal threshold for getting out from under court control. Georges’ brief comment came during a question and answer session with a City Council budget committee.

The Daley administration has longed chafed about its hiring system being under the scrutiny of court-appointed monitor Noelle Brennan. She was named to the position in August 2005 after authorities arrested Daley’s patronage chief and others on charges they rigged the hiring system to reward the mayor’s political allies with jobs and promotions.

And it gets worse: Schools aren’t even testing many 11th graders who wouldn’t perform well.

The Tribune found that 20 percent of sophomores in the state didn’t advance to junior status last year.

Voila! You’re not a junior, you don’t take the test! And the school’s results aren’t weighed down.

Your morning video

Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign is launching a new online video series called Quinn Stories. This first video is an introduction to the series. Have a look


Keep in mind that these videos are not your normal TV advertisements. Too many of you have assumed as much when we’ve looked at online videos from Quinn and others. You gotta get past the old way of doing things. These are meant solely for online viewers, mainly supporters. So please take that into consideration when you rate these types of videos. Thanks.

Also, Quinn’s campaign uses an in-house guy to do these videos. They’re not farmed out to an expensive consultant. Everything from the shooting to the editing is done by a low-paid, over-worked yet highly talented staffer.
