Daughters’ pleas, model jail behavior don’t earn Blago a reduced term
[WASHINGTONPOST] A federal judge today upheld Rod Blagojevich’s 14-year sentence for public corruption, rejecting tearful appeals from the former Illinois governor’s wife and daughters during a resentencing hearing in Chicago. Blagojevich, his signature thick mane of black hair now turned white, appeared via closed-circuit television from the Colorado prison where he has been for four years.

“I think I’m a very different person and I think I’ve become someone who has learned a lot from the mistakes I have made,” he told Judge James Zagel.

#3 Yes, someone wants him buried alive for good...and my $2 bet is placed on it being some Illinois who Rod "owed" but whose "favor" was never repaid.
