Rezko Sentencing Delayed

Antoin “Tony” Rezko's sentencing for corruption charges has been moved from Oct. 21 to Nov. 22, The Chicago Tribune reports.

Prosecutors requested a later date for Rezko, a former adviser and fundraiser for Rod Blagojevich, in light of a related prosecution involving a "Springfield powerbroker charged with extortion and fraud" starting Monday, according to the Tribune.

"Both Rezko and Cellini were accused of being involved in the same plot to try and squeeze a campaign contribution out of a Hollywood producer," The Tribune adds.
