On Wednesday the retrial of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich began with jury selection. The former governor was arrested in 2008, then subsequently impeached and tried.
Eight Forty-Eight took a look at some highlights from the ongoing legal saga – which has more than a few hints of political theater. Host Alison Cuddy then turned to WBEZ Criminal Justice Reporter Robert Wildeboer to find out what to expect in the retrial.
