The impeached Governor of Illinois was convicted of lying to the FBI. That's it:
A federal jury today convicted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich of only one count against him: lying to the FBI. Jurors said they were deadlocked on the other 23 counts against the former governor, and all four counts against his brother Robert.
Blagojevich faces up to 5 years in prison. The former governor pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.
As jurors filed out, Blagojevich's wife Patti collapsed into her seat and the former governor's attorney, Sam Adam Jr. moved next to Blagojevich and put his arm around him, rubbing his back.
