Rod Blagojevich pauses as he talks with reporters at the Federal Court building after the judge handed the case to the jury in his corruption trial in Chicago. Jurors deliberating in Blagojevich's corruption trial told a judge on Monday, June 27, 2011, that they have reached a verdict on 18 of the 20 counts against him, and attorneys in the case have agreed that the verdict should be read.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been convicted of 17 of the 20 charges against him, including all 11 charges related to his attempt to sell or trade President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
Jurors deadlocked on one charge of attempted extortion in an alleged shakedown involving funding for a school in the district of then-Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
The jury found Blagojevich not guilty of soliciting bribes in the alleged shakedown of a road-building executive. The panel deadlocked on a charge of attempted extortion on that same case.
Judge James Zagel has ruled that Blagojevich will be barred from traveling outside the northern district of Illinois without permission from the judge. A status hearing for sentencing was set for Aug. 1.

Karma is an obvious rule of nature. We see that every action produces a reaction. Karma is a reaction that may bear fruit years or sometimes lifetimes later, but it does still come. The laws of nature is perfect just as the universal laws, that govern the nature of the entire cosmos, are perfect.
Without proper understanding of karma atheists blame God for misery on this planet (while refusing to credit him with all the wonderful gifts of nature that he gives us), just like a criminal, who has forgotten a crime that he committed a long time ago, cries foul when he is caught and punished by the authorities.
