(17 May 2011) HEADLINE (48 characters): Blagojevich returns to court for jury selection CAPTION: (255 characters): An uncharacteristically subdued Rod Blagojevich faces his first big challenge at the retrial of the ousted Illinois governor on corruption charges: Finding jurors who haven't already heard about his case and decided he's guilty. (April 21) WITH JURY SELECTION UNDERWAY IN CHICAGO-OUSTED ILLINOIS GOV. ROD BLAGOJEVICH MADE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE AT HIS SECOND FEDERAL CORRUPTION TRIAL THURSDAY-HE WAS RUSHED THROUGH SECURITY AND SAID NOTHING TO THE PRESS.. HIS FIRST TRIAL ENDED LAST AUGUST WITH JURORS DEADLOCKED ON ALL BUT ONE COUNT OF LYING TO THE FBI. THIS TIME AROUND HE FACES 20 CHARGES, INCLUDING ACCUSATIONS HE SOUGHT TO SELL OR TRADE AN APPOINTMENT TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S OLD U.S. SENATE SEAT FOR CAMPAIGN CASH OR A TOP JOB. "We are beginning this process again for the second time and as I have said over the past two and a half years this has been a long and hard journey but among the objectives is to get the vindication that I have said from the very beginning and if the truth comes out that will happen." INTEREST IN THE CASE IS STILL HIGH BUT MEDIA COVERAGE SEEMS BE WANING SOME. A CONVICTION ON JUST ONE OFFENSE THIS TIME COULD MEAN A DECADE OR MORE BEHIND BARS-JURY SLECTION SHOULD BE FINALIZED BY NEXT WEEK.
