Blagojevich Trial Straight Ahead

Rod Blagojevich will soon be on trial for his crimes of corruption. He faces, 24 counts including racketeering, wire fraud, attempted extortion, and bribery.

Illinois is famous for it's corruption so, it's no surprise a demoncrap in this state or, even a Republican for that matter, finds themselves on trial for these political crimes.

Blagojevich has proven to the world, these past few years, what a media-attention-whore he truly is. He's spent time on radio and all sorts of tv programs, even getting his wife involved in a second rate, reality tv show, trying to convince the public of his innocence. The more he talks, the more you realize what a goon he truly is. It's not surprising that he married his wife...she too, is a goon.

The trial starts today and, will begin with jury selection.

If convicted, Blagojevich faces a maximum of 415 years in prison and fines totaling $6 million.

Also from the article:

Prosecutors have lined up numerous key witnesses to testify at what could be a four-month trial. They include Blagojevich's former chiefs of staff John Harris and Alonzo "Lon" Monk.

Monk, Blagojevich's law school roommate who has pleaded guilty to conspiring to solicit a bribe in the form of campaign contributions from a racetrack owner, was with the governor at the outset of his administration and is guaranteed to be asked about alleged efforts to use the office to generate profit.

Harris, who has pleaded guilty to conspiring to sell the Senate seat, is guaranteed to be asked for full details.

So, even though Harris has already plead guilty, Blagojevich thinks he's innocent. I really hope they lock this guy away. He's a total disgrace to the political system in every way.
