US SUPREME COURT DENIES BLAGOJJEVICH REQUEST FOR TRIAL DELAY

Justice Stevens has denied the former Illinois Governor's request that his pending federal corruption trial be delayed. Blago's lawyers had asked for a delay on the basis that decisions, in unrelated cases, are pending that may impact the constitutionality of the charges that Blago is facing.

This denial was made without comment after it had already been denied by both the District Court and Circuit Court of Appeals.
