Jury convicts Blagojevich at retrial
Updated 3m ago
CHICAGO (AP) — A jury has convicted Rod Blagojevich of trying to sell or trade President Obama's old Senate seat and other corruption charges.
Jurors delivered their verdicts Monday after deliberating for nine days.
Blagojevich had faced 20 charges, including that he sought to sell or trade an appointment to Obama's vacated Senate seat and schemed to shake down executives for campaign donations.
Blagojevich testified for seven days, denying wrongdoing. Prosecutors said he lied and the proof was on FBI wiretaps. Those included a widely parodied clip in which Blagojevich calls the Senate opportunity "f------ golden."

Jurors in his first trial deadlocked on all but one charge, convicting Blagojevich of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors opted to try him again.
Blagojevich already faces up to five years for the lying conviction.
