The state of mind of Democratic insider Tim Mapes after he was forced to resign in 2018 were the focus of his perjury trial Tuesday as the defense attacked allegations that Mapes lied before a grand jury.
Tim Mapes, former chief of staff to House Speaker Michael Madigan, arrives at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago on Aug. 9, 2023.
McBride, who did not examine or interview Mapes as part of her testimony, also told the jury that people who are “detail-oriented” don’t necessarily have good long-term memories.On cross-examination, Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur repeatedly pointed out that McBride had no specific knowledge of Mapes’ case or his testimony before the grand jury.McBride replied, “No, my expertise is in human memory.
But MacArthur asked Rains whether she knew that Mapes had detailed conversations with Madigan’s political aides during that time, and Rains said she was unaware of discussions and meetings he had. Wurth acknowledged that she stayed in touch with Mapes following his departure, partly for professional reasons to help her “pick up the pieces” during a wild election year.“I was worried about Tim. It was a very abrupt departure,” Wurth testified. “For me it was very traumatic. I was worried that about his mental health, because mine wasn’t good.
