Federal prosecutors said Tuesday they have turned over more than 40,000 pages and 100 discs of evidence in the corruption case against powerful Ald. Edward Burke — and they’re not done yet.
In a brief hearing before U.S. District Judge Robert Dow, attorneys for Burke and his two co-defendants asked for another three months to review the “voluminous” discovery before setting deadlines for pretrial motions and possibly a trial date.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
