The historic corruption trial of former Chicago Ald. Edward Burke has begun. Burke, who served over 50 years on the City Council, is facing charges including racketeering and attempted extortion. The trial is expected to last about six weeks, and the defense will likely focus on discrediting a former alderman who became an FBI mole.
