WASHINGTON, March 28 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up an appeal by former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich over his corruption conviction that sentenced him to 14 years.
Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on 18 counts of corruption charges, including trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat of President Barack Obama. He is serving his prison sentence at a facility in Colorado.
