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

As governor, Rod Blagojevich was a personal and political riddle, and the muddled end Tuesday to his summer-long federal corruption trial did little to clear up the mystery.

After 14 days of deliberations, the six-man, six-woman jury convicted Blagojevich on just one of the 24 felony counts he faced -- a charge that he had lied to FBI agents about his intense involvement in campaign fundraising.

Prosecutors made it clear they intend to quickly retry Blagojevich on the 23 counts on which the jury deadlocked.
