Day 9 of jury deliberations are underway.

Lawyers in the trial of Rod Blajojevich gathered outside Judge James Zagel's courtroom only to be told there is no news to report and that the jury was back cracking away at the 24 count indictment against the ex-Governor.

The last time the 12 member panel communicated with lawyers and the judge about the substance of the case was July 30th.

All requests made to the judge were denied.

For one week straight, they have worked silently behind closed doors.
