Jury Finds Rod Blagojevich Guilty on One Count (Lying to the FBI), Hung on 23 others

This event has not been added to any topics.

The jury has found former Gov. Rod Blagojevich guilty on just one of the 24 counts -- count 24, making false statement to the FBI.

That count alleges that the ex-governor lied to federal agents in 2005 when they questioned him about "pay to play" politics. He told the agents he kept his fund-raising and politics separate.

That charge carries a maximum five-year jail term and $250,000 fine.
