John Grover, 52, a juror from Joliet, said he grew so frustrated after three days of deliberating on the same charge that he yelled at the woman who refused to join the other 11 in agreeing to convict.
"I gave her a piece of my mind," Grover said. "If it wasn't for that one lady, we'd have had him convicted on probably 80 percent of (the indictment)."

For Pete's sake anybody that has the guts to talk to the president that way is to be commended, not convicted. For a former US Marine to try and bully others in the jury and then discuss it in the press without a hint of shame shows that maybe the jury system isn't working as well as it should. He obviously isn't playing with a full deck.
God bless the lone holdout!
More are talking.
George Costanza, laytex salesman.
Whats to bless? She was probably on the take. I’m upset that Fitzgerald deliberately jumped the gun so that they wouldn’t catch all of 0bama’s friends. (if they did would we hear about it?)
First time in Chicago that a jury was fixed.
Are you mentally ill? The "lone holdout" was a political operative under orders not to convict.
The holdout had been saying to her friends that she’d find Blago ‘not guilty’, no matter what, during the court process.
Ease off, Lurker. It is a n00b, and Axelgreasy has sent a msall platoon of scum to work FR, starting about sixteen months ago. This is just another of the pondscum floated out from the White Hut basement. Their purpose is to divide, cause anger and elicit drag and pasteable remarks from FR to impugn by posting on sites like DU. We have identified several of these agents provocateur. They are for now allowed to continue ... but they won’t last much longer. Scum and villainy always outs itself.
Maybe it's time to institute a critical thinking / logic test before granting posting rights on FR.
Lost in the internet are you?
Prepare for the zot.
Until I can drive through Illinois with guns in the vehicle and studded tires on same, I care not how IL continues on its merry way.
My 22 year-old shrugged his shoulders and said “They bought her off.”
In practice, it seems to always be a Democrat operative crossing his or her arms and saying, "I don't care how corrupt that SOB is -- I have my orders and I am not going to let you convict him. Nyah, nyah, nyah."
I would not ask God to bless a liar. But I don't have to worry about that, he knows the truth. In Chicago a "bought" juror is to be expected. Careful what you ask for.
Well pass along to Mr. Axelrod that I remember him from the early 80's. Maybe I'll start telling his WH buddies about some of the boy toys he was cultivating for his personal use back in the day....
I had to double take and make sure I wasn't redirected to DU! Blagojevich was window shopping a Senate seat and your glad he wasn't brought to justice! I think you might be on the wrong forum!
I suppose he really would go ballistic if he heard what I think of President Obuma.
The juror is now waiting for her payoff.
I don’t know what is worse, a DU troll or a keyboard tough guy.
