The jury in the corruption trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich may be settling in for a long haul after sending a note to the judge this morning asking for a transcript of all the testimony.
“Is it permissible to obtain a transcript of the testimony?” the note signed by the jury’s foreman read. “It would be helpful.”
U.S. District Judge James Zagel said he took the note to mean the jury wanted transcripts of the testimony of all 27 witnesses in the seven-week trial.
