Jurors at former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's corruption trial ended a full day of deliberations Thursday without a verdict.

They're to resume their work this morning.

On Thursday, they asked Judge James Zagel for a transcript of one of the closing arguments in the case. But the judge denied the request, saying closing arguments are not evidence.

Little is known about the six men and six women deciding the fate of Blagojevich and his brother — co-defendant Robert Blagojevich — because Zagel is withholding their names until after the verdict.

Both Blagojeviches have pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to sell or trade an appointment to a U.S. Senate seat and illegally pressuring people for campaign donations.
