There won’t be much movement in the racketeering case against former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan until 2023 at the earliest.
The judge in the case is giving the defense until February 1st of next year to prepare pretrial motions in the case. Madigan’s lawyers say they need that long to go through the large amount of evidence and documents provided by prosecutors in the case.
Madigan and a longtime ally, Michael McClain, are charged with using their positions of authority to generate income for themselves and associates.
