AP: U.S. Sen. Roland Burris will not be charged with perjury for statements he made before an Illinois House impeachment committee because there isn’t enough evidence to support the charge, the state prosecutor investigating the case said Friday.
Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Schmidt said that while some of Burris’ statements about the circumstances surrounding his controversial appointment to the Senate by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich were vague, they wouldn’t support a perjury charge.
