From NYTimes - Verdict in Burge Trial will not bring Issue to a Close by Katie Fretland and Don Terry
For some of the best coverage of the Burge trial, please see John Conroy's blog, with a hat-tip to the Beachwood Reporter and Steve Rhodes who keeps linking to it.
Aside: Links to some of the best local Chicago journos/bloggers
• The Reader - if it's written by Ben Joravsky, you should read it.
• Beachwood Reporter - a great daily commentary on the news that's important in Chi-town
• Chicago Current - city and county news - exposing the nitty gritty. I particulary liked Alex Parker's county line blog before they reorganized the site...
• Lee Bey's blog - general awesomeness and architectural commentary
• Chicagoist - Chicago for the masses
• Second City Cop - I hesitate to put this on here. SCC is wrong just as often as he's right, but it's a valuable, if not partisan (party = police = good) perspective.
