House Arrest

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich signed legislation in memory of Cindy Bischof, a victim of domestic violence, who was killed by a former boyfriend who violated a court protective order. Governor Blagojevich's bill enables domestic violence offenders to be fitted with GPS monitoring devices as a condition of bail. The satellite tracking system alerts victims of domestic violence when offenders approach a victim's place of work or business. Space-age technology in the hands of Illinois constituents that don't have to pay-to-play to get a foot in the door of state politics is commendable. Governor Blagojevich's campaign fundraisers have been under federal indictment for questionable accounting practices. The Chicago Sun-Times blog Eye on Tony Rezko monitors the trial updates and the release of sealed court documents.
