CHICAGO (AP) -- The jury deliberating political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko's fate has reached a verdict.

The verdict is to be read in Chicago's federal court at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday.

The 52-year-old Rezko has pleaded not guilty to scheming to get kickbacks from companies wanting state contracts.

The jury has deliberated for parts of 13 days since getting the case May 13th.

Jurors had told U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve on Monday they couldn't agree on one of 24 counts against Rezko. They seemed to indicate they had reached verdicts on 23 of the 24 counts, but didn't say that specifically.

At the time, St. Eve told jurors to listen carefully to each other and try to reach an unanimous verdict.
