Rezko, a former top fund-raiser to Blagojevich and a onetime friend to President Barack Obama, volunteered to go to jail in 2008 immediately after his conviction on 16 of 24 counts of corruption, including fraud, money laundering and plotting to squeeze $7 million in kickbacks from firms that wanted to do business with the state during Blagojevich’s tenure.

Rezko’s lawyers asked that he be released with just time served.

The government, though, wanted St. Eve to send him away for 11 to 15 years.

Since 2008, Rezko was housed in harsher conditions than most white collar criminals, including about nine months in isolation in a downtown lockup.

Rezko cooperated and delayed sentencing until after both of Blagojevich’s trials.

But prosecutors never used Rezko as a witness in Blagojevich’s trials, saying Rezko’s cooperation wasn’t that helpful, that he initially lied and that their proposed penalty would cover a second criminal case before a different judge involving loan fraud. Defense lawyers say Rezko’s information opened new doors for the government.

That’s what I was thinking. Like Jack Ruby. Bet he’s dead within a year.

I was thinking the same thing, a la Jim McDougall.
