Blagojevich retried for corruption

"The governor of Illinois is not allowed to enrich himself by using his power. It's that simple." said prosecutor Christopher Niewoehner.

Prosecutors broke down the former governor's case into five shakedown schemes, telling a mostly female jury that he was motivated by his lack of money -- in late 2008 he was $200,000 in debt.

Blago has also been accused of attempting to shake down numerous organizations for campaign contributions.
