Blago's Legal Defense Team to Ask Judge for Computer Help

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
: Watch for embattled former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's legal team to request computer help from Federal Judge James Zagel!

• • Translation: Sneed is told legal briefs filed by the feds in the "Pay to Play" Blagojevich probe "number a million documents and 3½ million pages . . . all on discs, of course," according to Blago attorney Sheldon Sorosky.

• • The upshot: "It's overwhelming. We are going to ask the judge for a computer program to help digest it all," said Sorosky, who will appear at a hearing before Judge Zagel today.
