The Michael Madigan jury has ended its third day of deliberations without a verdict in Illinois’ highest-stakes public corruption trial in years. The jury of eight women and four men began deliberating Wednesday afternoon and sat all day Thursday without reaching a decision.

Madigan faces a 23-count indictment in federal court, charging him with racketeering conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud, and attempted extortion.

The jury has completed its first full day of deliberations at the corruption trial of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and codefendant Michael McClain. Deliberations began Wednesday afternoon in a trial that began with jury selection on Oct.
