Blagojevich didn't make a dime, didn't take any money, and didn't spend any money he wasn't entitled to. He mad no profit on his crime, yet he was sentenced to 14 years in prison
Blagojevich penalty should be reduced or eliminated.
Jackson spent $750,00 dollars on a 'spending binge' and his wife didn't report $600,000 in income on taxes.
If Jackson get out to a half-way house, the same should be done for Blagojevich.
