Now he is paying for his crime!. The Scandal behind the truth, the Prison and the court results appealing, the appeal.
by Jul 16, 2013, Mr trouble, faces long odds with the appeal of his federal corruption and conviction that send him to jail.
A few months ago, Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (a.k.a Blago) was impeached and removed from office, the first governor in Illinois history to be impeached. Senators voted 59-0 to remove Blagojevich for abusing his power.
He has been officially charged with attempting to auction off U.S. President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat, and using the companies with state business for campaign personal profits for himself and for his wife, Patti Blagojevich.
He has pleaded not guilty of all federal corruption charges, and has yet to face a court trial.
On April 21, 2009, ousted Illinois Gov.
Rod Blagojevich was denied by federal judge, James Zagel, from leaving the U.S. to appear in the network TV reality show in Costa Rica, "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here" who were offering him $60,000 for each aired episode.
Zagel said that Blagojevich needed to stay in the United States to help his lawyers form a strategy for his defense. So now his wife, Patti, accepted NBC's network offer to be a contestant instead of her husband, Rod.
He will stay home and care for their two children while she competes in the wild jungles this summer in Sarapiqui of Heredia. Patti and her husband are currently jobless, and claim that they really need the money to support their family.
However, he has money of $2 million in his Friends of Rod's campaign fund, and is currently writing his Bio book due to be published in October, 2009, which he received money in advance.
If Blagojevich is convicted in court, he faces 25 to 30 years in prison, the main reason why he was barred from traveling to Costa Rica, he had much motivation to flee!
People that also might be of interest to you because they in someways are related to the United States Political process and state positions on government.
