(Chicago, IL) — Attorneys for indicted former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan believe more than a dozen charges against him should be dropped. The Chicago Tribune reports Madigan’s defense team called for the dismissal in a new court filing yesterday. The filing quoted a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month that the federal bribery statute doesn’t ban “gratuities” to public officials.
