It's being said on local Chicago TV that although they don't know when sentencing will occur, he'll probably not be put into the slammer till around mid-Fall.

If he's going to squeal it'll be a longish time away as the appeal process will go into gear and it wouldn't be wise to rat out anyone during this time period.

He was rather stoic when the verdicts were read....but then seemed to go into a state of shock. He put his arms around his wife Patty and whispered something warm into her ear. Some say it was "I love you". She then fell into her brother's (or brother-inlaw's) arms, crying and in shock.

A very smart law perfesser from Kent Law School just mentioned on local Chicago TV that although Blago's potential sentence is 120 years, he'll probably get from seven to eleven.

He could be put in prisons in nearby states including Indiana and Wisconsin. The perfesser stated that "none of them are Club Feds".

DEADLOCKED on Rahm shakedown...
Blago to lawyer: ‘What happened?’
‘I frankly am stunned’...

CHICAGO (WLS) - Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich turned to defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky and asked “What happened?” after he was found guilty of 17 of 20 charges in his corruption retrial.

His wife, Patti Blagojevich, slumped against her brother, then rushed into her husband’s arms after the verdicts were read Monday by federal Judge James Zagel.

Before the verdicts were read, both Blagojeviches looked flushed, and the former governor blew his wife a kiss before standing expressionless, with his hands clasped tightly.

Blagojevich kept his comments short upon leaving the Dirksen Federal Building. He said he and Patti look forward to getting home and explaining the decision to their family.

“Patti and I obviously are very disappointed in the outcome. I frankly am stunned. There’s not much left to say other than we want to get home to our little girls and talk to them and explain things to them and then try to sort things out,” Blagojevich said.

Zagel barred Blagojevich from traveling outside the northern district of Illinois without permission. A status hearing for sentencing was set for Aug. 1.
