A pair of laptops stolen from the office of lawyer Sam Adams, Jr., who is also defending former governor Rod Blagojevich, were recovered. However, according to Adams, neither of the returned laptops held any evidence related to the Blagojevich case. Because it's considered an ongoing investigation, additional details weren't released but Adams praised the police officers involved, saying, "Without jeopardizing an ongoing investigation, we can say we are ecstatic about the performance of the Chicago Police Department." Adams also wrote a letter praising the officers which can be read at the Tribune's site. more ›
