State Rep. Kelly Cassidy issued the following response to Madigan's verdict:
"That there will be some measure of accountability for the decades of abuse of power and corruption is critically important and will have implications for our state government for generations. Particularly in a moment when our federal government has been subsumed by blatantly corrupt forces, we need our state government to be trustworthy to the public and focused on the will of the people, not self-interest. This verdict will help move us toward that goal."
A juror spoke on the challenges that they faced when it came down to deliberations.
Speaking to ABC7's cameras, juror #6 spoke on the nearly 60 hours they deliberated over a course of 11 days.
