Former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich's Lawyer Speaks

Rod Blago lawyer Sam Adams: Blago is "not corruptible." "Thank God this is a jury who spent 14 days, who took this case seriously."

Patti "didn't do anything either." "This guy Fitzgerald is a master at indicting people for non-criminal behavior. Same thing happened to Scooter Libby....This guy is nuts."

"The answer is they got him on something he had no opportunity to defend" [re guilty count].  "Then man comes down here and says 'I stopped a crime spree.'"

 

"For a year and a half we've had to contend with the press....[Fitzgerald] villified the defendant in the press....We had to find a ladder to climb up to the bottom."

 

'We don't have to prove our innocence...Don't forget, we don't have to put on a defense...and they still couldn't get a conviction."

"I don't think Fitzgerald will prosecute this again."
