Amanda Schnitker, one of the jurors who reached guilty verdicts for the “ComEd Four,” believes those bribery convictions should send a message to legislators in Springfield. “This is very clear: We do not want to stand for this sort of corruption.'
One of the 12 jurors who reached guilty verdicts for the “ComEd Four” this week believes those bribery convictions should send a “clear message” to legislators in Springfield.
Each of the four defendants were charged with various counts of bribery conspiracy, bribery and falsifying the utility company’s books and records. Those verdicts came Tuesday afternoon, after jurors deliberated for approximately 27 hours over five days beginning last week. Defense attorneys, meanwhile, said this was nothing more than legal lobbying of a powerful politician.
