Blagojevich Jury is deadlocked on some counts
« on: August 11, 2010, 04:28:30 PM »
The judge in the trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced that the jury is deadlocked on some counts in the case.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel, reading from a note from jurors, said they had made “a reasonable attempt” after deliberating 11 days and had done so “without rancor.”

“What is the next logical step?” the jury asked in its note.

Zagel said in court that he needs further clarification from the jury before deciding the next step.

The jury wants to go home for the day, the judge said.

Remember, both the former Governor and his brother are on trial, so these could potentially be counts for either one.

I still smell shenanigans.

Local ABC news just announced the jury could not agree on a single count.

I think they call that a "mistrial". Back to the starting point.

I'm listening to Chicago radio right now and that is not what they're reporting :The jury is not unanimous on all counts.

More to come soon....

This is so confusing. :banghead:

Listening to Robert Blagojevich's lawyer right now - he's obviously hoping they're only deadlocked on Robert's counts, not Rod's.

That's what I'm worried about.  Some jag-dork with a thick Chicago accent on the jury who's been sitting there saying "He seems innocent to me". :censored:
