Sentencing hearings for the 'ComEd Four,' individuals convicted in a bribery case involving former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, have been postponed until after the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on a key federal bribery statute. U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber ruled on Thursday to delay the sentencings until after the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on the corruption case of James Snyder, the former mayor of Portage, Indiana. This statute has placed several high-profile public corruption cases in a state of uncertainty.
