Overview

• The 83-year-old former Illinois House speaker was convicted on 10 of 23 counts after a four-month federal trial with about 60 witnesses and extensive recordings and documents.
• Judge John Robert Blakey imposed a 90-month prison term and a $2.5 million fine, and ordered Madigan to surrender by 2 p.m. Monday.
• With his bid to stay out during the appeal rejected, he must serve at least 85% of the term and would be roughly 90 years old at the earliest release point.
• Prosecutors said the convictions centered on efforts to secure a state board seat for former Ald. Danny Solis and on a bribery scheme involving utility giant ComEd.
• Allegations also described no-show jobs connected to ComEd and AT&T and pressure on developers to hire Madigan’s law firm, while officials have not disclosed the prison where he will report.
