(Chicago, IL) — A federal judge is declaring a mistrial in the case of the former AT&T Illinois president accused of trying to bribe ex-Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. The mistrial was declared yesterday after the jury deadlocked on charges against Paul La Schiazza. La Schiazza was indicted in October 2022 with conspiring to pay a former state lawmaker 25-hundred-dollars a month in consulting fees as part of a plan to win Madigan’s backing of legislation in Springfield. Lawyers in the case will meet next week to discuss the next steps, including whether there would be a retrial.
