Schock's public corruption trial set for June
PEORIA — As expected, the public corruption trial of former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock will not occur in January.

Minutes from a hearing early Friday morning indicated that the new trial, which now is expected to take four weeks or less, will begin on June 10.
