Good job, maggie!

Obvious there was mixed opinion on
more than one of the counts.

PS:

Tonight’s Greta show is great !! You really
get a better idea of Alaska.

“Flaglady is saying that the Chicago local media has it as 5 for Blago and 7 against Blago jury split.

Here”

Flaglady reporting in here. It was NBC Channel 5, one of our local news stations. I just read about the one charge that was an 11-1 count. However, on many of the others it appears that the votes were much more split. So both can be true, what Channel 5 said regarding other counts, and what this juror said about this one count. I suspect that is the situation.

...”so how come all those people are not on trial?’...

Their time is coming....Still think Fitz jumped the gun because one of his stooges was about to be exposed.

Here’s a whose who and some names that are not getting as much publicity:

WHen her book came out I published on one of her support lines that she should come out with a second book....A picture book of Alaska ...with shots of the “beautiful” /sarc land of ANWR.....Looks like the TV show is her answer.

Greta has a big following....and hopefully others Foxes will show shot on the daytime FOX shows later in the week.

Remind me again of why Fitz wouldn’t allow witnesses.

Yes out 23 counts - I've come to that conclusion that they were not all 11 to 1.

Check me if I’m wrong, anyone, but I believe
that because the govt wasn’t calling the
witnesse, the judge wouldn’t allow the
defense to mention their absence.

The jurors are talking:

I seriously wonder if the most just decision would have been jury nullification? It seems awfully shady that Blago gets tried, but no one else (such as Rahm etc).

Never underestimate the ability of one stupid juror to refuse to see the plain truth right in front of their face.

I had a close family member who was murdered. The killer had already been convicted of first degree murder in the killing of a second individual, and the case against him in this case was overwhelming. The DNA evidence especially. Not only did one stupid juror threaten to hang the jury, the rest of the jury tired and finally settled on second degree instead of first degree murder. It was a total injustice, but what are you gonna do?
