Yesterday the former governor had his lunch delivered into a witness room in the courthouse.
Today, Rod Blagojevich and his wife were in the federal courthouse cafeteria pumping their own coffee from giant thermoses.
Several jurors were in the same general area, picking out their lunches. So were Patti's sister, state Rep. Deb Mell, and her partner.
All the while, courthouse security kept watch of the jurors, rounding them up with their lunches to bring them upstairs.

You can get in and get a seat if you get to the courthouse extra early, wait in line for a ticket. Then you can return and get in all day, I believe.
Do the jurors get to eat for free or do they have to pay for their own lunch??
Hey Natasha, how much do you have to grease court room security to get a seat???
