Jury Hammers Blago-Former Gov Faces Decades in Prison
Take TWO is a disaster for Blago….As a jury today found the former governor “with the hair”, Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, guilty of 17 out of 20 corruption charges . The verdict maintains Blagojevich made several attempts to sell or buy President Barack Obama’s Senate seat. The jury failed to convict on a bribery charge and two counts of attempted extortion.
Blagojevich says he was stunned by the jury’s nine day decision…..sentencing is set for August 1st.
