Paul Simon Fellows Respond to 2011 Blagojevich Verdit

The tenth day of jury deliberations resulted in the highly anticipated verdict of the re-trial of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Speculation was put to rest when the jury returned finding Blagojevich guilty of seventeen of the eighteen counts decided, as the jury remained deadlocked on two counts. The former governor was found guilty in all eleven counts in relation to the attempt to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. These convictions come in addition to being found guilty of making false statements to the FBI, which he was convicted of in the first trial.

Blagojevich Trial: Part 2, Overviewed

The jury in last summer's trial found Rod Blagojevich guilty of making a false statement to the FBI but could not reach unanimous agreement on the other charges. In an effort to streamline the case, prosecutors dropped three charges against the former governor: racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, and one count of wire fraud.
