What was Williamson's conviction that was rejected on appeal in early 2013?
Incitement
Financial fraud
Treason
Kidnapping
Answer
The incitement conviction of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was reversed on appeal in 2013. Prosecutors had accused him of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat. The appeals court ruled that the evidence was insufficient to prove Blagojevich had actually demanded anything in exchange for naming a replacement senator, which is necessary for an incitement conviction.
