Opening arguments are expected to begin Monday in the bribery and racketeering trial for former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Judge John Robert Blakey has targeted opening statements for Monday afternoon if two alternate jurors are selected Monday morning.
St. Xavier University Professor David Parker says prosecutors will introduce evidence which dates back ten years.
Parker says Madigan’s attorneys will insist that their client’s actions did not involve bribery or corruption.
Madigan and co-defendant Michael McClain are facing 23 federal counts of corruption.
