Madigan's Lawyers Seek Dismissal of 14 Counts Citing SCOTUS Snyder Ruling
Jul 16, 2024, 12:58 AM
Lawyers for former House Speaker Michael Madigan have filed a motion to dismiss 14 counts of his indictment, arguing that they are 'fatally infirm' due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling. The ruling, known as Snyder, scaled back the scope of the federal 666 bribery statute, which Madigan's attorneys claim invalidates the charges against him. The legal team contends that the counts in question were gratuities rather than bribes, and their dismissal is required under the new interpretation of the statute.
