Blago trial may be reshuffled for Oprah

The latest from the Blago trial:

A potential juror questioned during the second day of jury selection in Rod Blagojevich’s retrial Monday said she doesn’t want her potential jury service to interfere with the taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show on May 10, which she plans to attend.

She just might get her wish.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel said he can reschedule the trial of the former Illinois governor to accommodate the talk show goddess, but “that seems a little over the top.”

“It’s the last year, judge,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar said, smiling and referring to the final season the show is being taped.
