Former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Sentencing for Blagojevich regarding the corruption charges against him has been set for Dec. 6.

A federal judge has set former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's sentencing on corruption charges for Dec. 6.

The new date appeared on a U.S. District Court's website Monday.

A federal judge in September indefinitely delayed an Oct. 6 sentencing date for Blagojevich apparently because it would have conflicted with the start of a related trial that month.

Jurors at Blagojevich's retrial earlier this year , including attempted extortion for trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat.

At Blagojevich's first trial last year, a jury deadlocked on all but one count - convicting Blagojevich of lying to the FBI.
