The article discusses the decision by \u200cfederal prosecutors and defense attorneys\u2063 not to delay \u2064the upcoming corruption trial<\/a> \u2064of former Illinois House Speaker Michael\u200c Madigan following a \u2062ruling by the U.S. \u200bSupreme \u200cCourt. The Supreme Court recently \u2064narrowed the scope of a federal bribery statute, which could impact how public corruption \u2062cases are prosecuted nationwide. Despite concerns about pre-trial publicity<\/a>, both sides have agreed to\u2062 move forward with the scheduled trial date<\/a> on October 8. Madigan’s \u2062defense team plans to file a motion seeking jury selection relief due to the potential prejudice from ongoing pretrial publicity. Prosecutors have requested the opportunity to review and\u2063 respond to the motion once it is filed. <\/p>\n
