What toll has Rod Blagojevich‘s federal corruption trial taken on his defense? Thirty-two pounds, apparently.
That’s how much weight Blagojevich lawyer Sam Adam Jr. says he has lost since May 1.
After some morning house keeping Wednesday, jury instruction is about to get underway. Patti Blagojevich is knitting in the front row of the gallery. The ex-governor is wearing a light grey suit and blue tie.
Prior to jury instructions, a woman named Maisha Imani Hamilton filed a motion to intervene in the case, claiming that Blagojevich conspired against her.
