Blagojevich trial: Monk mentions "occasional drug use," while roommates with Blagojevich

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Sam Adam Jr. livens up the room as his animated cross examination of Lon Monk begins.
Adam's questions cut deep, to Lon Monk and Rod Blagojevich's friendship beginning back at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu, Calif.

Adam says Monk and Blagojevich lived together in law school, they shared secrets, talked about girls. Monk agrees.

Adam says the two of them never committed any crimes together back then, right?

Monk: "Other than some occasional drug use," Monk says to some laughter by spectators. "Yes."
Adam: "I'm not here to ask you about that."
Imagine that.
