WASHINGTON, May 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday didn't spend much time reconsidering the case of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is about a third of the way into a lengthy prison sentence on a number of corruption convictions.
Attorneys for the disgraced former Democratic governor first filed an appeal before the high court in March, but it was refused. It reappeared Monday, a few weeks after his lawyers filed a petition for rehearing, but the outcome was the same.
