Jury deliberates for fourth day
The jury is deliberating for the fourth day.
They asked the judge Monday for the exhibit number for a call between the former Illinois speaker and Michael McClain.
In the call, McClain related a conversation he had with Anne Pramaggiore about Juan Ochoa's ComEd board seat.
This is related to count three of bribery against Madigan.
Pramaggiore was convicted in the ComEd Four trial.
The judge told the jury they have all the exhibits presented, and they must rely on their memories of that evidence and his jury instructions and to continue to deliberate.
