Rezko's attorneys want new trial

WBEZ reports:
Attorneys for Tony Rezko are asking for a new trial. They told a federal judge Friday the former political fundraiser was convicted on some charges that have been found to be unconstitutional. Rezko's attorneys say he should get a new trial because the law has changed since his 2008 convictions. They're not asking for a new trial on all his convictions, just some of the charges on which he was found guilty.
