UPDATE: Tues, 10:55 p.m. — Jurors begin the 10th day of deliberations.
By Allan Lengel ticklethewire.comLet the nail biting continue.
Jurors in the public corruption trial of ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich begin deliberating Monday for the ninth day in U.S. District Court in downtown Chicago.
Good chance a verdict will come by week’s end — or least the public will get a good indication where the jury stands.
Jurors have had to sift through a weighty 24-count indictment which includes allegations that the ex-governor tried to sell the Senate seat vacated by President Obama. Blago’s brother Robert faces four counts.
