Blago Watch!

A second trial is coming. This one may include additional drama by prosecutors calling more witnesses and, by the defense putting up Rod himself.

Rahm Emanuel and Tony Rezko were not originally called to the stand in the first trial. This is because, they are not terribly credible witnesses however, they are key witnesses within the case and, this next time around, the prosecutors may consider putting them on the stand. 


Another problem the prosecution had was the confusion of the trail. Many of the jurors were confused, and said it was difficult to follow. 


Blago appears to be tapped out, and may be unable to keep his team of lawyers. A second trial may require public defenders. 


During this first trial, it appears as though a lone juror was the one who had dug their heels in, refusing to see the obvious- that Blago is a corrupt politician. I had a feeling it would be just one juror and, it wouldn't surprise me if Blago, or someone from his team is behind this. That is how truly corrupt I believe this man to be. 


I am not surprised by the fact that most this jury found Blago guilty. The man is guilty. Let's hope they might even be able to show that he tampered with this one juror. That would be another charge for him.
