Sam Adam, Jr., attorney for Rod Blagojevich, is a bundle of nerves. He's not eating or sleeping, waiting on the 12 people who will decide his client's fate.

"It's not easy," he says. "You hope and you believe there are people in that jury room fighting for your side, but the truth is that you really don't know. And that's what makes it so hard."

Jury deliberations resume today.
