The Chicago Tribune rounds up what's left of its newsroom (ten reporters are cited as writers or contributors) to cover a jury convicting former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on one count of lying to the FBI. So Blagojevich was found not guilty of 23 other counts charged by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. These include the headline extortion, racketeering and conspiracy charges, which asserted that Blagojevich wanted to auction off the vacant Illinois U.S. Senate seat and that the former governor ran the state as if it were a crime syndicate.
