After spending two days on the stand in the trial of Rod Blagojevich, a witness takes a bump on the head, then rolls to the ground outside the federal building.
Joseph Cari and a videographer knocked into each other just as Cari exited.
When Cari and a camera lens collided, Cari slowly dropped to the ground, throwing his hands back over his head, then rolling over on his stomach. He remained there, barely moving, for what felt like minutes.
After 911 was called and a US Marshal came out to help, Cari got up, took his glasses, walked back into the Dirksen Building and out the opposite door.
Joseph Cari is a cooperating witness for the Government who has agreed to testify in hopes of reducing his own sentence.
Court resumes this afternoon.
