Madigan's defense team works to distance ex-Speaker from government's star witness

^{Published on 2025-01-14 20:20:37 - MSN}

Another grueling day on the stand for Michael Madigan, as the former Speaker of the Illinois House withstood close to six hours of cross-examination. WGN's Julian Crews reports.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing legal proceedings involving Michael Madigan, the former Illinois House Speaker, who is accused of corruption. His defense team is currently working to distance him from a key government witness, Fidel Marquez, who was a former executive at ComEd and has pleaded guilty to bribery charges. Marquez has been cooperating with the prosecution, providing testimony that implicates Madigan in a scheme where ComEd allegedly provided jobs and contracts to Madigan's associates in exchange for legislative favors. The defense strategy focuses on undermining Marquez's credibility by highlighting inconsistencies in his statements and suggesting that his cooperation is motivated by self-preservation rather than truth. This approach aims to create reasonable doubt about Madigan's direct involvement in the alleged corrupt activities.
