Verdict Reached On 18 Counts In Blagojevich Trial « CBS ChicagoCHICAGO (CBS) — A verdict has been reached on all but two counts in the re-trial of deposed Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The jury sent a note Monday morning revealing it has reached a verdict on 18 counts in the trial, and that jurors are hung on two other counts. It has not been revealed whether the verdict is guilty or not guilty, nor which specific 18 counts the jury has reached a verdict on.
U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel, who had been hearing a mortgage fraud case while jurors deliberated, asked prosecutors and the defense if they accepted the verdict. Both teams attorneys said they did.
Zagel said he would inform the jurors that they should fill out their official verdict form for the 18 counts on which they reached agreement and the official verdict would be read later Monday.
And the verdict will be....
Guilty on all 18 counts! That's my guess.
