Ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich's legal defense team now has two official members — but he wants more.
Sheldon Sorosky has been standing up in court for the impeached governor since his arrest. He made it official this week, promising to be at the defense table at trial. But Sorosky wouldn't say if he would be the lead attorney.
Also committed to be part of the team is Samuel Adam, whose shouting, whispering, fist-pounding closing argument was a highlight of R&B singer R. Kelly's child pornography trial. Kelly was acquitted of all charges.
Blagojevich has until June 1 to put the team together.
