7. Only the best people

Campaign manager convicted of bank and tax fraud and within the hour his personal attorney will plead quilty of bank fraud and campaign finance violations

8. I guess I didn't realize a 'hung jury' equals mistrial

From what I've read on a couple of other news sites the judge took it upon himself to declare a mistrial on the 10 counts the jury couldn't come together on simply so that the conviction on the other 8 counts can move forward. Convicted on 8 counts of tax evasion and banking fraud ..... that's a pretty solid start.
