Court began with the judge re-reading jury instructions regarding corrupt intent as per the prosecution’s request.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Amar Bhachu waisted no time on responding to defense attorney’s closing arguments.

In response to Madigan’s attorney using the word “myth” in their closing arguments last week, Bhachu said “the charges in the indictment before you are not the product of myth. They’re not the product of the imagination. Those charges are based upon matters of undeniable fact.”

He then encouraged the jury to apply their common sense to the evidence.

Bhachu argued that Madigan’s testimony is not consistent with what everyone else said on the stand and it is also not reliable.

When discussing summer internships, Bhachu said these were not mere job recommendations because they were not based on integrity, merit or work ethic.

Bhachu says Madigan’s testimony was about lies and deception. Saying that the former Illinois speaker testified that he was angry when he heard work was not being done. Yet, he is heard in a recording telling McClain: “These guys made out like bandits.”

Judge called for a lunch break until 1 p.m.

The government has their rebuttal next on co-defendant Michael McClain’s defense in former IL Speaker Mike Madigan corruption trial on Wednesday.

McClain’s defense attorney Patrick Cotter gave closing arguments on Tuesday.

Attorney Bhachu wrapped up his rebuttal on Wednesday around 3 p.m.

Judge Blakey was giving jury his final instructions regarding deliberations.

Madigan’s defense team wrapped up their final presentation to the jury on Monday.

Madigan’s team started Friday afternoon, following a 12-hour closing argument delivered by the government over two and a half days.
