The jury in the Rod Blagojevich corruption trial told the judge Wednesday afternoon that they couldn't reach a decision on a number of counts.
"We've gone beyond reasonable attempts [to reach a verdict]," meaning they can't reach a decision on certain counts.
Judge James Zagel has asked for clarification to see if they have reached a unanimous decision on any of the counts, then proceed from there.
If the jury is deadlocked, Zagel could enforce the Allen charge, which encourages the jury to re-examine their positions and work diligently towards a verdict.

We’re waiting to see if the Judge gives an Allen charge..so it’s not over yet.
I figured he was going to get off on this.

OK...so let the jury hand down the verdict on the charges they can agree on and the DA can decide how to proceed on the unresolved charges.

Translation: There’s more money to be made by the City and the trial lawyers.

The way things are going these days, I’m surprised the jury hasn’t acquitted Blago yet!

I will be happy to see Fitz fall on his face on this one.

Righties know he’s guilty...Lefties refuse to convict him. Simple.

AWESOME! Better than a conviction.
A do-over will dredge up even more Democrat scum, and probably end in a conviction.
