A federal judge has sentenced former contract lobbyist Jay Doherty to one year plus one day in prison for his role in a scheme to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
The last of the ComEd Four defendants to be sentenced learned his fate Tuesday at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago.
In a recorded video from February 7, 2019, codefendant Michael McClain discussed subcontractor deals with then-ComEd executive Fidel Marquez.
Six days later, Doherty advised Marquez not to mess with the contracts.
Doherty was also ordered to pay a $500 fine. He is scheduled to report to prison on September 30.
