Calling Rezko to the Stand Not a Good Idea, Says Zagel

Lawyers for Rod Blagojevich attempted  this morning to learn whether prosecutors intend to call former Blagojevich fundraiser Tony Rezko.  Before they could respond however, the judge interrupted.

"I don't think I would force either side to make that decision now," he said.  "There's a name for witnesses like Rezko, which I will not repeat."

The judge suggested that such witnesses turn out to NOT be good for the side that calls them.  There was no further discussion.
