Mostly guilty!

Good Day Readers:

The Chicago Tribune is reporting former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has just been convicted on 17 of a 20-count indictment stemming from his brazen abuse of power at one point even going as far as to try to sell Barack Obama's vacant senate seat. The score:

Guilty = 17
Not Guilty = 1
Hung = 2

The Tribune had a reporter tweeting from the courtroom as the jury delivered its verdict. There is no word yet on a sentencing date.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
