MEDIA ALERT: Statement from Patti Blagojevich on SCOTUS declining husband, Rod Blagojevich’s appeal

This morning the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an effort from former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich to get the high court to reconsider his conviction on corruption charges.

The following statements from Patti Blagojevich, the former governor’s wife:

“Rod, Amy, Annie and I could not be more disappointed in the decision today by the U.S. Supreme Court. From the beginning we’ve had faith in the system and have felt the court would bring Rod back to us. Now, with the judiciary no longer an option, we’ll have to put our faith elsewhere and find another way.

Throughout this grueling saga we’ve maintained hope that Rod will come back home where he belongs. Although we are disheartened by this decision, we are thankful for the outpouring of support we’ve received along the way. We will continue to push forward and work towards the day when our family can be whole again.”

PLEASE NOTE: Patti Blagojevich will NOT be doing any on camera interviews and we ask that you respect her privacy.
