Oh My! Break in at Blago's lawyer's office
Edited on Fri Dec-04-09 04:17 PM by malaise
computers related to the trial stolen.
Blago's back in the news.

Chicago police are investigating a burglary at the law offices of the attorneys for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, sources said, and are trying to recover computers containing discovery evidence in the sweeping corruption case.

Someone broke into the offices of laywers Sam Adam and his son, Sam Adam Jr., in the 6100 block of South Ellis Avenue, sources said, and stole computer equipment. At least one of those computers carried copies of secretly made tape recordings in the case, sources said.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago declined to comment on the incident or the fact that evidence in the case apparently has been compromised.

1. This stinks to high heaven!
The lawyers have been tap dancing and stalling and filing for continuances on a regular basis, from what I can recall.

Now,. all of a sudden, they "lost or compromised all their files".

Well, gee I guess they just have to let Blago go and make him Governor again.

It could be a genuine break in by a couple of crooks who just happened to wander by that particular office but I'm guessing - not.

4. Why would Blago's attys be in possession of the evidence against him?
Are they the only copies?
