Blago found guilty......on 1 of 24 counts

[Oldvol75]

making false statements to federal authorities. Count 24.

 

[CSpindizzy]

Wow. All of this for a charge of lying to the FBI. Lie to the American people and it's 'typical'...lie to the FBI? Can't wait to see what the result is.

I for one, am shocked.

I bet his hair is going to get messed up in the showers a time or two in prison.

 

[CSpindizzy]

I doubt he will serve. This being the only count being found guilty on? Maybe a fine. The hairpiece is safe.

 

[VOLatile]

You kidding me?

Call me stubborn, but I would have made that one juror hold out for weeks before letting them have their way, if I were on that jury.

Is this the same prosecutor as the Scooter Libby prosecutor?

Well they were already deliberating for 2 weeks. I'd be pretty pissed at the pay cut I was taking by that point.

 

[CSpindizzy]

Someone check this juror's overseas holdings....

Yep!

His brother won't be retried. Fitz might as well drop this. Failed effort all around.
