Federal prosecutors told jurors Wednesday they would hear more than 100 recordings over the next several weeks, as the wide-ranging case against four allies of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan kicked off in earnest with opening statements.
Dozens of jurors were brought in for questioning in the case against four people - all connected to ComEd - that are accused of trying to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to benefit the energy company.Federal prosecutors told jurors Wednesday they would hear more than 100 recordings over the next several weeks, as the wide-ranging case against four allies of former Illinois House SpeakerSpeaking for roughly 90 minutes to a newly empaneled federal jury, Assistant U.S.
The legislation included a 2011 measure that stabilized ComEd’s formula rate, a 2013 measure that was considered a legislative fix to the rate bill and the Future Energy Jobs Act, which passed in 2016. Madigan is charged with the same scheme, but in a separate broader indictment. His trial is not expected to begin until April 2024.
Streicker illustrated her presentation Wednesday by flashing photos of the Illinois Capitol building and Madigan on a screen in the courtroom. She showed Madigan’s picture as she made clear the extent of his political power to the jury. Streicker described McClain’s close relationship with Madigan to jurors, and how he purported to speak for the reclusive political leader. She said that McClain asserted as much when speaking once to a senior ComEd employee.
