 There's still no word about whether jurors might be any closer to
reaching a verdict.Observers can often glean something about jury
deliberations via notes they send to a judge. But it's been more
than a week since Blagojevich jurors sent Judge James Zagel a note.
Some defense attorneys have spent their time in a courthouse
cafeteria awaiting word of a verdict. Several say they're not
sleeping well and can't focus on other work.
Blagojevich faces 24 counts, including charges of trying to sell
or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated Senate
seat.
His co-defendant brother, Robert Blagojevich, faces four counts.
Both have pleaded not guilty.
