Judge James Zagel has denied the Blago defense team’s motion to nullify Milorad’s sole conviction – lying to the FBI – punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Defense alleged prosecutorial misconduct – Judge Zagel said he found no reversible error and that Blago’s statement to the FBI was proven to be false at trial.
Blago’s retrial is scheduled to begin April 20, 2011.
