Poor Rod Blagojevich. The poor, Democratic Governor of Illinois, impeached by his own party, currently rots away in federal prison. With a lot of spare time, the gun-hating leftist scumbag filed YET ANOTHER appeal to get another sentencing hearing.
The Seventh Circuit took all of three days to reject his latest appeal.
Poor Rod.
How's life in prison, buddy? Don't drop the soap.
CHICAGO (AP) — A federal court has taken just three days to reject the appeal of imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich seeking a third sentencing.
The unanimous ruling Friday by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago dismissed arguments that the Democrat’s trial-court judge should have reduced his 14-year prison term for corruption because of his good behavior behind bars.
The written opinion from the three-judge panel says, “Blagojevich’s treatment of fellow inmates may show that outside of office he is an admirable person.” But it continues that the lower court was punishing him for his behavior as governor, not as a prisoner.
The 7th Circuit tossed several Blagojevich convictions in 2015 then, in August, the lower court imposed the same 14-year sentence. That led to the now-rejected appeal.
