Another lawyer is joining the defense team for ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel on Friday allowed a fourth lawyer to serve as quarterback for the defense team, helping to oversee the review of volumes of documents and case organization.

Zagel initially approved 40 hours of legal work by attorney Giel (GEEL) Stein. Zagel has a say over attorneys as part of an agreement with prosecutors to let Blagojevich use his campaign fund to pay for his defense.
