Governor Rod To Be Retried in January
His Former Excellency Governor Rod Blagojevich will go back on trial for trying to sell now President Barack Obama’s Senate seat the first week of January 2011. He will be on trial alone and with a reduced list of charges, in the hopes that the jury will be able to come to a decision this time. With the exception of the lone charge of lying to the FBI, the jury deadlocked 11-1 on the rest of the charges, mostly due to the overwhelming amount of evidence thrown at them couple with the subtlety of charging someone with conspiracy as opposed to the commission of the actual crime.
