CHICAGO — Rod R. Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois,
was convicted on Tuesday of making false statements to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, but the jury in the corruption case against
him also reported that it was hopelessly deadlocked on 23 out of 24
counts against him.

Former Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois and his wife, Patti,
arrived to hear the verdict in his corruption trial in Chicago on
Tuesday.

The jury’s findings, which came on the 14th day of deliberation, were
seen as a victory for Mr. Blagojevich and his defense team and a
significant setback for federal authorities, who arrested Mr.
Blagojevich almost two years ago to stop what they described
unambiguously as “a political corruption crime spree,� including
attempts to sell the appointment to fill the Senate seat once held by
President Obama.

“The conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave,� Patrick J.
Fitzgerald, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois, said of Mr. Blagojevich at the time.

Judge James B. Zagel accepted the jury’s verdict on the false
statements count on Tuesday and declared a mistrial on the remaining
counts, the bulk of the case. Federal prosecutors said immediately
that they will try Mr. Blagojevich once more.

I'm the real Harry, and I post from a Mac, as virtually everyone knows.
If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a Mac, it's from an ID
spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his own ID.

Sonny, do you know the difference between hung jury and not guilty? Ask
your little legal beagle girlfriend. Man, you're stupid.

You stupid little ****z. He was not found guilty, hence he is not
guilty. You embarrass yourself in all of your posts.



Sorry Bozo. He has not been declared not guilty and plans are underway
to re try him. Does that sound like he is not guilty? Come on, show us
that you really do have a working brain.

Legally once you have been found not guilty you are NOT GUILTY until
they find you guilty.

Except Blago has NOT been found 'not guilty". "...declared a mistrial
on the remaining counts"

Not guilty means you walk free and cannot be re-tried for the same
offense. It is illegal and unconstitutional to re-try a defendant
after he/she was found not guilty.

Mistrial/Hung jury means that the jury did not come to a unanimous
decision; meaning not all 12 jury members came to the SAME verdict,
therefore the person can be tried again and again until the jury comes
to a decision they can all agree.

How embarrassing for the one that posts with a mac.
