Path to trial set as communists expel Bo Xilai from legislature

Though largely a formality since Bo was purged from the Communist Party late last month, his expulsion from the congress removes his immunity from prosecution. That sets the stage for a criminal case involving accusations of corruption and other wrongdoing, including interfering in the investigation into the murder of a British businessman. Bo's wife and a household aide were convicted of the murder last month.

Leaders are keen to resolve the party's most damaging public scandal in decades as they prepare for next month's once-in-a-decade transition.
