Federal jurors on Tuesday reached a guilty verdict in the case against four former political power players who were labeled "grand masters of corruption" for their alleged conspiracy to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to benefit ComEd.
Michael Madigan confidant Michael McClain, former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, ex-ComEd lobbyist John Hooker and onetime City Club President Jay Doherty were all accused in the trial of a bribery conspiracy aimed at illegally swaying the powerful Democrat to benefit ComEd.
After six weeks of trial, 12 jurors are considering the merits of the case that ended former House Speaker Michael Madigan’s record-breaking grip on power.
