Case against Blago: 400 hours of taped calls, 1 million documents
Prosecutors have turned over to Rod Blagojevich's lawyers 400 hours of recorded calls and at least 1 million pages of documents they say are evidence in the massive corruption case against the ex-governor.
And that's just a sliver of it.

There are an additional 300 boxes of documents Blagojevich's lawyers can go through, another 2 million documents involved in the case and at least another 500 hours of recorded phone calls that were deemed not pertinent, lawyers in the case say. The evidence was so voluminous, it came with a 185-page index.
The evidence includes documents from Blagojevich's gubernatorial and campaign offices and documents tied to others in the case, including John Harris, Chris Kelly, Stuart Levine and Lon Monk.
Michael Monico, a lawyer for Kelly, said in a recent court filing that he has received 265 disks containing hundreds of thousands of documents.
