Rod Blagojevich appeal rejected by U.S. Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court turned down former governor and Celebrity Apprentice contestant Rod Blagojevich’s last shot at overturning his conviction. An appellate panel of judges threw out five of the disgraced governor’s 18 criminal convictions and called for a resentencing in 2015. It’s unclear whether his 14-year prison sentence will be lightened by a U.S. district court judge after SCOTUS’s decision. [Sun-Times]
