Sex trials: Small potatoes in Illinois


Embattled Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich is searching for an A-level criminal defense attorney, but apparently he hasn't pulled the trigger just yet....



So far, Blagojevich has been represented on federal corruption charges by Sheldon Sorosky, a family friend who is a little-known lawyer. Sorosky is an unlikely candidate for such a powerhouse political corruption case. Although he represented a co-defendant in former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds' sex trial--and won an acquittal for his client--most of his cases are more ordinary.

But a step up from parking tickets, nonetheless.
