An ex-Chicago police officer will spend about a week in prison after pleading guilty to fatally shooting her husband, a fellow cop, over three years ago. Fighting through tears, Jacqueline Villasenor told Judge Arthur Wesley Willis Tuesday, “There is no punishment worse than the punishment I give myself every day.”“Although the kids love and support me, I still see him in them every day, which makes it hard to know he’s not here,” Jacqueline Villasenor said before she was taken into custody.

The bribery trial of former AT&T Illinois President Paul La Schiazza has been moved to January of next year after prosecutors requested more time to get the new U.S. attorney “up to speed.”La Schiazza’s first trial, on charges of bribing ex-Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, ended in September with a hung jury. In December, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman rejected the former utility executive’s long-shot bid for an acquittal and set a trial for June.
