He was arrogant up until the last minute. His last minute apology fell on deaf ears. Blagojevich Sentenced to 14 Years - Yahoo! News
Justice served. You can't take it easy on a guy like that. He knew exactly what he was doing, and didn't care.
He will got to a 'country club' where there is no need for protective custody. He won't be out in a year or two unless Obama pardons him. It is a Federal sentence. The first year you do flat. No time off for good behavior. After that you get 54 days a year good time. He will serve about 12 years. After about 10½ he will go to a halfway house for a year, then finish up on house arrest.
Keeps quiet? Him pointing the finger towards people working in the White House is a big part of the reason why he's been left to face the music on his own.
