If convicted, Blagojevich will be the state's third governor jailed since 1971. (Or the fourth, if you count the 18 months served by DanWalker, convicted of bank fraud and perjury in the late 1980s, long after he left office.) Since that time, 1, 000 political officials and businesspeople in the state have been convicted of corruption.
