前伊利诺伊州众议院议长Michael Madigan面临与Edison联邦和AT&T伊利诺伊州有关的腐败指控,被控以交换工作和合同换取有利的立法。 Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan faces corruption charges linked to Commonwealth Edison and AT&T Illinois, accused of exchanging jobs and contracts for favorable legislation. Madigan的律师试图根据美国最高法院一项缩小联邦贿赂法范围的决定驳回指控。 Madigan's lawyers seek to dismiss charges based on a US Supreme Court decision narrowing a federal bribery statute. 检察官辩称,这项裁决不影响他们的案件,他们计划利用“利益流”的法律理论来证明暗含的对等交换。 Prosecutors argue the decision does not affect their case, and they plan to use "stream of benefits" legal theory to prove implicit quid pro quo. Madigan的审判定于10月8日进行,而相关的审判定于9月进行。 Madigan's trial is set for Oct 8, while related trials are scheduled for September.
