Even though the former governor of Illinois said  his fate is in "God's hands," it's really in the hands of the jury.

The panel will decide the 24 various federal charges against Rod Blagojevich and the four against his brother, Robert. They are doing their work in a federal courthouse in Chicago, and the judge has said he did not expect a speedy verdict.

In the spirit of judicial fairness, my colleagues Brian Williamson, Erica Smith and Ryan Martin put together a nifty interactive that provides details on other famous trials -- including how long the trial lasted and how long the jury deliberated before coming back with a verdict.

You might remember the first O.J. Simpson trial, which lasted for months and ended after just four hours of jury deliberation. Another former Illinois governor, George Ryan, sat through a trial of 115 days, then waited another 10 for jury deliberations before he was found guilty.

So while we wait to see what the jury decides, tell us what you would be looking for if you were on the panel. And check out the lengths of trials, deliberations and, of course, resulting verdicts in other well-publicized trials.
