(Chicago, IL)  --  The waiting game continues as jurors deliberate in the corruption trial of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.  Yesterday, jurors asked judge James Zagel for a transcript of the prosecution's closing argument.  He denied the request on grounds that the closing doesn't qualify as 'evidence.'  Jurors will resume deliberations this morning.  That will be the case each weekend until a verdict is reached.  Blagojevich faces 24 corruption counts including a charge he tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate Seat.  His brother, Rob, is charged as well and stood trial alongside him.  Both men have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
