CHICAGO, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was no pawn or "supplicant" in schemes to use his office for money, the federal judge set to sentence him said Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge James Zagel is scheduled to issue the sentence Wednesday after a two-day hearing. Zagel ruled for prosecutors on a number of key issues Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
