Show Notes
Alderman Ed Burke's corruption trial goes to the jury. Ben riffs. Adolfo Mondragon returns for another episode dedicated to the Burke trial. An ongoing conversation between Ben and Adolfo that's been called the world's greatest Burke trial coverage. Okay, Ben called it that. But that doesn't make it any less true. In this installment, the fellas analyze Burke's defense. Why didn't they raise an entrapment defense? Who is lamer--Chicago aldermen for giving Burke a standing O or Chicago's mainstream press corp for calling Burke so smart? How did Danny Solis on cross examination? What's worse in the mind of the average Chicagoan--a corrupt alderman or an alderman who rats on a corrupt alderman? Can you tell the difference between a quote from Burke and one from Goodfellas? And more.
