Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s sentencing next month on his sweeping corruption charges has been postponed, according to a court order Monday.No new date has been set.
The Oct. 6 date has always been tentative, and the postponement is not surprising largely because of Blagojevich’s co-defendant, William Cellini, is scheduled to go on trial next Monday in the same courtroom.
U.S. District Judge James Zagel, who will preside over both Blagojevich’s sentencing and Cellini’s trial, said in a written order on Monday said the former governor’s sentencing has been postponed “until a further order of the court.”
