CHICAGO -- The last figure in the circle of corruption involving Rod Blagojevich is finding out his fate. Springfield power-broker, Bill Cellini, will spend one year and one day in prison for his role in the Blagojevich case.

Last year, a jury convicted him of trying to shake down a Hollywood producer for a campaign contribution for Blagojevich. Cellini will also have to pay a $7,500 fine. He'll report to prison in early January.
