"Federal prosecutors today asked that former Gov. Rod Blagojevich be sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison for his sweeping corruption conviction.
Blagojevich’s lawyers have long said they will seek probation for the former governor, who is due to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge James Zagel next Tuesday.
But in their 21-page filing, prosecutors say Blagojevich merits much harsher punishment because he "repeatedly committed serious criminal acts that have done enormous damage to public confidence in Illinois government. "
