“We’re looking at trial dates,” said City Attorney John Mitchell. “The conference that we held with the opposing counsel was to discuss three or four dates that are open over the next few months.”

Isn’t Jesse Jackson’s congressman son getting indicted? I thought I read somewhere that he got the sadz and had to go to Mayo Clinic upon learning of the investigation into his suspected corruption but things have been awfully quiet as of late.

No such luck. This is local. it would be fun if JJ ended up spending some quality time in the Stephenson County Jail.

It could be a race to see who gets an orange jumpsuit first - the Rev. or JJJ.

You can bet the Rev. won’t spend any time in a cell.;/

He has that immunity thing going.

He won’t go to jail. Anyone who attended a democrat convention will never go to jail, even if they should. Sharpton. Jackson.

Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if the “Rev” had armed security with him, and if that would have any impact on what he is charged with.
