Michael Madigan, former Illinois House Speaker, convicted on 10 corruption counts, acquitted on 7 others

convicted of bribery conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud charges on Wednesday

U.S. District Judge John Blakey declared a mistrial for all counts where jurors were deadlocked, and federal prosecutors said they have not yet decided if they will seek to retry Madigan or McClain on any of those charges.

Madigan (82) could face up to 20 years in prison for the most serious convictions on wire fraud charges, but likely will get far less due to his age. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
