From the Chicago Tribune:
“Calling former House Speaker Michael Madigan “steeped in corruption,” federal prosecutors on Friday asked for a whopping 12 1/2-year prison term and $1.5 million fine for Madigan’s conviction nearly four months ago on bribery and other conspiracy charges.”
Mike Madigan is now 82 years old.
The Feds asked for ten years for former Alderman Ed Burke, but got only two after a bundle of letters attesting to his good deeds.
Similar letters can be predicted in support of a minimum sentence for Madigan.
