Jury: Blagojevich Guilty on 17 Out of 18 Counts of Corruption
A jury decision is a valuable f'n' thing.
Blogojevich showed no reaction as the jury found him guilty on 17 of 20 counts against him. He then sat back in his chair with his lips pursed and looked toward his wife Patti and whispered, "I love you."
Ah. No verdict reached on two other counts. Ergo: 17 guilty, 1 innocent, 2 no verdict and theoretically result in a mistrial on those charges only and theoretically he can be retried on those but I imagine 17 is enough for the prosecutors.
Alas, he never did call all those Obama agents he threatened to call.
