Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former governor of Illinois, was convicted of 17 out of 20 charges of corruption today stemming from several shakedown attempts and an absolutely insane attempt at selling Barack Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat.
Blagojevich told reporters outside the courthouse that he and his wife were “stunned” by the verdict. He’s now looking at somewhere in the range of ten years behind bars. He technically faces 300 years but federal regulations would prevent that from happening.
