THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF CASE THAT GETS A GUILTY VERDICT...
I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A TOTAL ACQUITTAL ON ALL COUNTS...
BUT THE JURY MAY DO A MINOR CHARGE...AND GO WITH THAT...JUST TO SATISFY AN ODD HOLD OUT...
I DON'T SEE A MAJOR CONVICTION HERE...NOT ON THESE FACTS...
BLAGO IS A BULLSHITTER ... YES...
BUT THAT IS NOT A CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY...OTHERWISE FOX NEWS WOULD BE CLOSED DOWN...AND THE "HOSTS" WOULD BE IN PRISON BY NOW...
THERE IS A REAL CHANCE OF A HUNG JURY ON ALL COUNTS...
THEN THE ISSUE OF A RETRIAL COMES UP...
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF THERE IS A HUNG JURY...IS GIVE BLAGO A PLEA TO A MISDEMENOR...AND LET IT GO AT THAT...
NO JAIL..A NICE FINE... AND MOVE ON...BLAGO HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH...AND HE IS LESS A THREAT TO THE NATION... THAN SOMEONE LIKE LIEBERMAN AND MCCAIN ....WHO ARE STILL "ON THE LOOSE."
