Dollar Bill Jefferson's trial delayed until Feb. 25

Earlier this week, it looked like the corruption trial of Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) would begin next month. But, the start date has been pushed back until February 25:

A federal judge has set the corruption case of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) for Feb. 25.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis reluctantly granted Jefferson's lawyer's request for a continuance. But he gave them an extra six weeks instead of the four months they sought.

"You'll just have to get it done," Ellis said.
