Prosecutors Seek to Delay Sentencing of Tony Rezko:

  • Federal prosecutors moved Monday to delay indefinitely the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, sending their strongest hint yet that he is ready to spill his political secrets.

    The filing asks for a postponement while prosecutors and defense attorneys "engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures."

    Speculation has simmered for weeks that the key fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama was whispering what he knows about corruption in Illinois government to federal prosecutors in hopes of getting a lighter sentence.
