The fate of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is finally in the hands of his jury.
If you're betting on what tape jurors would most like to hear during deliberations, go with the one where Blago expresses his feelings about the voters (who make up federal juries).
"I [bleeping] busted my ass. I gave your [bleeping] baby health care. ... What do I get for that? Only 13 percent of you think I'm doing a good job, so [bleep] all of you," he said on federal tape.
Rewind. Play again. Rewind. Play again. Has the jury reached a verdict?
