Now they are saying they have reached a verdict but not on all counts.

Waste of fucking time and money, all that tape, all those agents and they barely have a weak lying to the feds count. Rupublicans should be for no retrial so that this doesn't waste another dime of tax payers money. Blago's defense and prosecution is paid for by public funds, freaking stupid, let him walk.

this is bad news for blago in the retrial

If so, that juror is like me. I would have played like I would be fair and just, and then all day long "Not Guilty, inconclusive evidence" lol They would hate me. Then I would say "Anyone for Chinese today?, I will take some sweet and sour chicken"

5 years in Illinois prison is more like 25 months. Or even less.

it is federal law that federal convicts spend a minimum of 85% of their sentencing in prison. that's equal to 51 months for a 60 month sentence.

She is like me, we simply like Blago and are not going to give him hard time over some bull shiet. If I was the governer I would expect favors and to get paid, so this entire fiasco is asinine . I would tell everyone there, I will never vote guilty, so either you all change your vote to not guilty or declare it a mistrial . Unless you Jack Buer torture my ass, I wouldn't change my vote. Black folks have a hard time giving someone serious time in jail for this crap when there are murderers, rapists, child molesters, and cop killers on the street. The priorities are all fucked up here. Who is Blago going to hurt. My rule of thumb is if you didn't hurt anyone, there was no damn crime.
