Thirty-six people have served as jurors this year in three high-profile corruption trials at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse. Here’s what they have to say.
Defense attorney Scott Lassar told the Chicago Sun-Times he was referring to possible rulings by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, or even the U.S. Supreme Court.
Federal prosecutors urged a federal judge to block efforts by attorneys for two people convicted in the ComEd bribery trial to contact jurors.
Federal prosecutors argued the appropriate response is “not to authorize the defendants to hound this jury — a move that no doubt will send a public message that jury service is something to be avoided.”
Lawyers for 2 convicted in ComEd bribery trial want to speak to the jurors who found them guilty of a conspiracy to bribe former Speaker Mike Madigan.
