QuoteFormer Gov. Rod Blagojevich has arrived at the federal courthouse after jurors in his corruption trial told the judge they have a question.
Jury deadlocked, wants to go home.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/2589812,rod-blagojevich-trial-verdict-081110.article
QuoteJurors in the trial of former Gov. George Ryan deliberated for 11 days — but that was after they were reconstituted (two jurors were kicked off and they started over). And it was after sitting through a six-month trial.
In a news availability Tuesday, Sam Adam Jr. noted that jurors in this case have been out just as long and the trial ran only 29 days.
"That's pretty cool," Adam Jr. said Tuesday.
I was worried about the possibility of a hung jury.
I thought all 12 of them would go deliberate and realize, "We voted for this guy!?!" and proceed to hang themselves.

QuoteUnlike some juries that report angry deliberations and even physical confrontations, jurors in the Blagojevich case said that while there was arguing, it was always respectful. "No yelling," Sarnello said. But he and Wlodek told the AP that after three weeks, it was clear one juror, a woman they wouldn't name, would not be swayed.
"She just didn't see it like we all did," Sarnello said. "At a certain point there was no changing. ... You can't make somebody see something they don't see.

Seems more promising for the retrial than the opposite, I guess.
QuoteAbout half of the 12 jurors in the case have spoken publicly since Tuesday's verdict, describing cordial but increasingly tense deliberations during which a lone holdout blocked a majority from a unanimous guilty vote on several counts, including Blagojevich's alleged attempt to benefit from the Senate seat.

Chiakulas is a retired director from the Illinois Department of Public Health. She was juror 106, college educated, is active in the Urban League and other politics, and listens to NPR. She reportedly did not see smoking gun in the case and that's why she didn't vote to convict.

This might be the right time to note that it was Fox Chicago, the local affiliate, that wrote that story, not "Fox News." And, they were parroting the reportage from ABC.

Quote3 of 12: Juror # 106, a black female believed to be in her 60s, is a retired state public health director who has ties to the Chicago Urban League. She has handed out campaign literature for a relative who ran for public office. She listens to National Public Radio and liberal talk radio shows.
The useless NPR info aside, do you guys think she's corrupt? Or just a really awful person?
Or a devoted Democrat?
We said "really awful person" already.

Well done.
If this whole escapade does nothing else, it should educate you guys that if you are ever on trial, for anything (be it rape for Crabs or possession of kiddie pron for Kurt), take a bench trial.
You don't want your fate decided by a group of dumbfucks, especially ones who come into said trial with their conclusions already made.

Dumb question: how does someone who (it seams) had her mind made up from the get-go make it through jury selection? Shitty questioning by the prosecution?

Why would this particular escapade teach us that? That juror saved Blago's ass (for the time being at least).

For me the real question is why did she vote to convict on one count and not the 23 others? Maybe it is because she took the "beyond a reasonable doubt standard" seriously and just wasn't convinced.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that since this was a WOMAN, an African American, an NPR listener and a former government employee, she clearly hit all the G-spots for DEMOCRAT.
Ergo, not a Real American and probably a Blago dong chugger.

I certainly hope so. This is what the internet was invented for.
If no one surreptitiously recorded the actual proceedings, though, I hardly think Rod would be above recording a reenactment from the official transcript if the price is right.
Release it on iTunes. I'd buy it.
OK, so Chris Kelly had become pals with Bernie Kosar, who contributed some of what used to be Art Modell's and Jerry Jones money to Jeb Bush for some campaigns. So Bernie then was going to tell Jeb to tell Dubya to pardon Chris Kelly because he was Bernie's pal.
But Blago thought that maybe Joe Johnson the track owner was going to tell his buddy George Steinbrenner, a friend of Jeb's and a one-time colleague of Dubya, to pardon Kelly if a racetrack deal got done. Huh?

You know, Peter Fitzgerald was a mediocre senator. I voted for the guy over Carol Dingbat Braun and was pleasantly surprised he didn't turn out to be an ideologue like some of the shit we get today in out political class. His stance on no expansion for O'Hare was always pretty stupid.
But the guy did one thing right: Getting Bush to appoint Patrick Fitzgerald to be the US Attorney in Illinois. He's got som pretty good scalps:
John Gambino
Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman
Gov. George Ryan
Conrad Black
Scooter Libby
Gov. Rod Balgojevich
Bill Cellini is up next and Jesse Jackson Jr. has got to be scared shitless.
Patrick, if you plan to run for office, let me know. I'll host a funder for you.

While Gitles tries to get his fundraiser together for Patrick Fitzgerald, Blago has got to be sitting in the Dirksen Building right now figuring how much a 20-year-supply of soap on the rope would be.
