Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is going to be tried again in January. But this time he'll stand trial alone.
Prosecutors 1 dismissed all corruption 2 charges against his brother Thursday. Rod Blagojevich says he believes federal authorities never thought he was guilty of any crime. But they were using him as leverage 3 against his brother.
The Tennessee businessman worked as the former governor's campaign manager for about four months in 2008. Both men have been accused in an alleged 4 plot to sell President Barack Obama's old senate seat.
Judge James Zagel says he probably won't allow the former governor more than two taxpayer-funded attorneys during his retrial. But he may allow more lawyers if they volunteer their time or they are paid for by a benefactor 5.
Blagojevich says he is broke after paying his legal team, which included six attorneys and as many as 20 aides during the first trial.
