| Description | In a bombshell announcement as the trial of former Gov. George Ryan recessed on Tuesday, prosecutors said they would seek to bring out evidence about the fatal crash of six children, an inflammatory issue the defense has vehemently opposed.
Outside the jury's presence, Assistant U.S. Atty. Patrick Collins argued that the defense's lengthy cross-examination of Scott Fawell, Ryan's former chief of staff, swung the door "wide open" for prosecutors to get into the hot-button issue.
But the defense quickly objected, and the judge deferred ruling on the dispute until both sides submit written arguments. |
