Another Defeat In Court Blagojevich

Former Governor Rod Blagojevich has not seen his lucky change in the courtroom, including with the nation's most famous court. 
 
For the second time, Supreme Court Justices have refused to hear an appeal by Blagojevich of his corruption convictions. 
 
There were no comments released with Monday's decision, which keeps Blagojevich's 14 year prison term intact. He is scheduled to be released in 2024. 
 
Blagojevich's lawyers had wanted the high court to take up his case to make clear what constitutes illegal political fundraising. 
 
Blagojevich was accused and later convicted of illegal "horse trading" in seeking possible successor to former President Obama in the U.S. Senate.
