Moody admitted that between 2012-2019, he received checks by Doherty, McClain, Shaw-Decremer and from the Bradley law firm. They were considered the best so they began to train other precinct captains and volunteers during seminars.Moody explained how Speaker Madigan got him a jury supervisor job at the Bridgeview Courthouse and later a job with Mike McClain.Ochoa had close ties with Luis Gutierrez and Chuy Garcia.
