Madigan's co-defendant is Mike McClain, who was one of the four convicted Tuesday for scheming to bribe him over an eight-year period.
With the "ComEd Four" trial now over, focus has shifted to how the outcome will impact Michael Madigan's own corruption case in April 2024.
The now 81-year-old Madigan was indicted on bribery and racketeering charges last year. He is accused of using his official position as House speaker to corruptly solicit and receive financial rewards for himself and his associates."I would probably want to get away from it," Kling said. "Because as much as the jury is not going to be told that Mr. McClain is convicted, juries are not stupid.
Juror Amanda Schnitker Sayers explained the process the jury followed as they tried to connect the dots among the "Comed Four," Mike Madigan and legislation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the utility company that was approved between 2011 and 2019.
