Count 16: The attempted extortion of Tom Rosenberg at Capri Capital.
The next group involves the alleged aiding and abetting of bribery:
Count 17: A payment made by Pekin to Rezko associate Joseph Aramanda.
Count 18: An agreement that Levine would take a cut of a finder’s fee from investment firm LLR Partners.
Count 19: An agreement that Pekin would share a finder’s fee from investment firm Stockwell Capital.
Count 20: The solicitation of a payment to trial witness Chuck Hannon by JER Partners.
It’s hard to remember the full details, but I think 18 and 19 were more dependent upon Levine’s testimony than the others. But 4 of the Not Guilties are bribery charges.
It’s not good for Blagojevich, but it certainly isn’t a complete knockout–however, I would assume that Rezko flips states evidence after this.
