Fingon Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Clay Davis was the smooth talking megolomaniac politician, who talked his way out of corruption charges. Blagojevich is essentially the same, and is even considering a return to politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike In Illinois Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hard for a convicted felon to run for office, especially in Illinois where he's barred from doing it. He will get some sort of sentence/fine on the one conviction, IMO. Blago's running his mouth because he thinks he wasn't convicted. His problem is he can/will be retried on the other 23 counts where the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. There was one juror who refused to convict the guy no matter the evidence. And based on exit-interviews with some jurors she was the only thing preventing him from being convicted on several counts. I don't think Blago fares well the second time around since the prosecution can interview jurors about their case against him and plan a better attack the next time. The Feds' problem was they assumed the defense would build a case for Blago but they never called witnesses to testify, essentially undercutting the prosecution's strategy. Not going to happen in the retrial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
