In other news, I can now Blog-o about Blago, guilty on only one of 24 counts, hung on the rest! For folks who don't know what that means, it means the WHOLE SHABANG starts over (only if the prosecution elects to do so, which it did)! It is neither a victory nor a loss for the defense team, and we will be hearing about this case for a long looong time to come.
Would you want to be a juror in the next case? Just FYI, the trial lasted MONTHS and the jury deliberated for FOURTEEN DAYS! Jurors in federal court get paid $40-$50 a day... wait... WHAT!? Could you pay your mortgage/rent/mani-pedi with that kind of money!?!?
On a side note, I worked briefly on the Blogo case for Ed Genson. I was a big deal for about 4 weeks and then they didn't want to deal with the ex governor, so my time there was done.
Also, two huge thugs came into the office today and threatened my brother/boss. SCARY!
