Prosecutors have rested their case at the corruption retrial of impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Y'gotta pay to play!Blagojevich.
Who was tried on federal corruption charges that he tried to sell or trade Obama's old U.S. Senate seat, resulting in a hung jury. He was convicted of lying to the FBI.
Government attorneys wrapped up Thursday after presenting evidence for three weeks and calling their last few witnesses earlier in the day.
Prosecutors drastically streamlined their presentation after criticism that their six-week case last year was overly complicated. Jurors in the first trial could agree on only one count, convicting Blagojevich of lying to the FBI.
Blagojevich faces 20 charges this time, including that he tried to sell or trade President Barack
B.O.Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat. He has denied any wrongdoing.
