Lawyers for former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore and ex-ComEd lobbyist John Hooker want to speak to the jurors who found them guilty of a nearly decade-long conspiracy to bribe former House Speaker Mike Madigan.
Attorneys filed a motion on Wednesday in U.S District Court, asking U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber for an order granting them permission to speak to the panel of seven women and five men who last week found them and two others Madigan friend and confidante Michael McClain and one-time City Club President Jay Doherty - guilty on every count of an indictment handed down in November 2020.
Hours after the verdict was reached, Goldenberg also told the Sun-Times that Madigan "had a heavy hand in how this corruption and coercion took place.""The argument that the defense did very well - to try to prove that this was all the normal course of business - did not sit well with us," Schnitker Sayers said. "And as far as politics goes, this is also, I hope this is not how all politics runs, certainly as a citizen of this state.
Lawyers noted in the motion that three jurors had already spoken to the media, "which indicates that they may be willing to speak to counsel as well." The attorneys said they would agree to any limitations on communicating with the jurors - and if granted permission, they would make it clear that jurors have no obligation to speak to them.
