Blagojevich asks judge to nullify lone conviction
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has asked a judge to nullify the lone conviction in his mostly deadlocked corruption trial, saying the jury's decision was underpinned by errors at trial and misconduct by prosecutors.
Rod R. Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois, wants a federal judge to throw out his conviction for lying to federal agents, the single count the jury found him guilty of in August.
