SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 19 (UPI) -- Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., won't be charged with perjury in connection with the impeachment of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a prosecutor has decided.
Sangamon County State's Attorney John Schmidt says he won't press charges against Burris stemming from allegations he misled a special state legislative panel considering whether to recommend the impeachment of Blagojevich, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday.
