Former prosecutor added to Blago defense team
One of six lawyers just added to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's defense team is a former Cook County prosecutor.
Until recently, 29-year-old Robyn Molaro was an assistant state's attorney prosecuting cases in Chicago's southern suburbs.
Michael Ettinger, attorney for Blagojevich's brother, Robert, knew Molaro before she joined the team. She prosecuted one of his clients on drug charges.
She ordered Ettinger's client to attend drug school.
Molaro's job on the defense team is to listen to FBI wiretap tapes that led to Blagojevich's arrest on corruption charges.
