From WBBM Chicago:
CHICAGO (STNG) - Jurors in Tony Rezko’s corruption trial, perhaps giving a sign they are nearing a verdict, said Tuesday they will work late Wednesday 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. Wednesday and Thursday. They already had indicated they would not meet Friday.
Since May 13, jurors have deliberated on seven separate occasions, including three half-days. Their total deliberation time so far is the equivalent of 5 ½ days.
The jury is made up of 10 women and two men, six of them white and six black.
