Judge grants defense until next year to file motions in racketeering case against former Illinois Speaker Michael Madigan – Chicago Tribune/MSN

During Tuesday’s hearing, U.S. District Judge Robert Blakey asked prosecutors whether they intended to seek a superseding indictment in the case, which would add more charges and possibly more defendants. Assistant U.S. Attorney Amarjeet Bhachu said that he was “not in a position to indicate to the court” whether that would happen.

Madigan will be too old, too sick, too infirm to stand trial after years of delay. Charges dismissed. The usual outcome

They’ll use every excuse they can to delay the trial, and once they run out of legal tactics, they’ll resort to other options. One of the defendants will develop a medical condition that requires treatment that prevents him from attending the trial. That’s always good for a lengthy delay. Anything to keep mealy mouthed Madigan from being held accountable.
