postheadericon Blagojevich retrial date may be decided Thursday

Lawyers involved in the Rod Blagojevich case will meet in a federal courthouse in Chicago Thursday to discuss a retrial date for the former governor.

The Chicago Tribune reported Aug. 23 that Judge James Zagel said during a recent meeting he favored a date in early 2011. 

The piece noted that Zagel suggested he might appoint two public defenders to replace the seven-member legal team that Blagojevich can no longer afford. He spent his $2.7 million war chest on lawyers for the first trial.

Blagojevich was found guilty of perjury by a jury last week â€" one of 24 counts agains! t him.
