Blagojevich was convicted of all 11 counts of trying to "sell" President Barack Obama, was released by the U.S. Senate seat in 2008. The judges have no prior convictions for two reasons related to the attempted extortion. Blagojevich has been found not guilty by combining the attraction of bribery related to his plan highway.
In his corruption trial, Blagojevich was convicted of various charges, including wire fraud, attempted extortion, extortion conspiracy and conspiracy to demand bribes. But for each count of federal prosecutors told the jury they had to answer a single question: Was Blagojevich try to gain advantage for themselves in exchange for an official act? If the answer is yes, prosecutors said jurors should convict.
Prosecutors presented three weeks of bands play present evidence and witnesses to show that Blagojevich held up the legislation until the potential beneficiaries of this law has given campaign contributions. Many band played an emphasis on the assertion that renowned Blagojevich tried to sell the vacant U.S. Senate by Barack Obama when he won the presidency in 2008. Assizes heard a lot of bands where Blagojevich is looking for ways to get appointed to the cabinet of Mr. Obama, or get a paying job in return for designating preferred candidate Obama, his friend Valerie Jarrett, the Senate.
Prosecutors painted a picture of Blagojevich as a desperate man who was selfish and jealous of Barack Obama's political rise. Jurors heard a recording where Blagojevich used his advisors on his lot in life. "I must tell you, I do not want to be governor for the next two years. I want to start. I will, I have the fucking shit for two years where I do best I can try to get through a wall and find ways around things, but like all of my family to live and time pass me and I 'm real, it's not good. It is not good. I have to start. The whole world is passing and I are stuck in this fucking job as Governor now. Alles in front of me and I'm stuck. "
In that same damned because Blagojevich called on President Obama does not seem to elect more Blagojevich in exchange for Jarrett to be appointed to the Senate. "I mean, you tell me you just have to suck for two years without doing anything. Give this son of a bitch, your senator. The kiss. For nothing? To hell!"
However, Blagojevich has the opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of the jurors when he testified. He spent seven days on the stand of his childhood and his rise to power. He was charming and funny. He also gave some reasonable explanations for some of the conversations he had against the recorded phone calls. But it was hard to explain some of the tapes, including a call secretly recorded November 7, 2008, in which Blagojevich named Jarrett speaks to the Senate and get a job in Obama's office. He tells a counselor that wants to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. "And if I do, and if and if there was anything available for me and maybe not really realistic, but if he was available to me I could do Valerie Jarrett in a heartbeat."
Blagojevich has simply insisted that the jurors that he did not try to trade with each other. He says that they were not connected. However, Blagojevich said Tom Balanoff about the appointment of the Senate. Balanoff was an officer of the Union carried messages between Blagojevich and Obama camps. Blagojevich has acknowledged that he discussed the appointment of Jarrett and the Senate, and his desire to be appointed secretary of the Ministry of Health in the same conversation.
Blagojevich certificate and appearances in Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, the mayor, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and former Congressman Bill Lipinski to keep the proceedings interesting.
Emanuel four minutes on the stand had little impact, but Jackson, who was called by the defense actually gave testimony that helped the prosecution. He said Blagojevich was asked about a contribution to the campaign $ 25,000. Later, Jackson's wife applied for a job with the state, but did not get it. At a subsequent meeting in Washington DC, said Jackson, referring to Blagojevich's job, and then said, "You should have given that $ 25 000."
Defense lawyers later called Lipinski to repeal the certificate of his testimony, Jackson. Lipinski testified that he never asked Jackson to donate $ 25,000 is Blagojevich. But further investigation, prosecutors Lipinski presented with a record fundraising, which had Blagojevich and Lipinski. He admitted that he had forgotten a lot of fundraising, Blagojevich was the fundraising that has proven to State records.
Prosecutors have presented a simplified version of their case in this game. They dropped many of the more complex the charges against Blagojevich, and they decided not to retry Blagojevich brother Robert. Jurors in the first trial said they found the question confusing and failed to reverse the convictions of 23 of the 24 counts. But the judge did Blagojevich for lying to the FBI. In an interview, the former governor said he did not track that gave him campaign contributions, but many people in his campaign funds have shown convincingly that Blagojevich knew the details of its financing more than anyone else. This charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.
