Prosecutors say Blagojevich lawyers misread ruling
From the Pantagraph
CHICAGO (AP) — Prosecutors responding to a new argument in Rod Blagojevich’s appeal say the former governor’s lawyers have misrepresented a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in another case.
Blagojevich’s lawyers say an April ruling by the high court found that soliciting contributions is corruption only when a politician makes explicit promises to take official action for a donation.
The Illinois Democrat is imprisoned on corruption charges.
