Defense attorneys for former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan's close confidant Michael McClain rested their case Thursday, though Madigan's attorneys still have witnesses left to call in the high-profile trial.
When asked if he ever felt fearful or intimidated to hire Madigan’s law firm, Cretal said he did not. He also said he was impressed by Madigan’s partner, Vincent “Bud” Getzendanner. Only a few floors away from where McClain and Madigan were on trial, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman Friday set a new, June 2025 trial date for Paul La Schiazza, the former CEO of AT&T Illinois. His first trial ended in September with a hung jury.
