The four former Commonwealth Edison executives and officials convicted on bribery and other charges this week in the “ComEd Four” case will be sentenced early next year.
Thanks to our sponsors:U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber on Friday set four separate sentencing dates in January 2024 — more than eight months after a federal jury convicted the former Commonwealth Edison officials and executives of conspiring to bribe former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
McClain is scheduled to be the first to be sentenced on Jan. 11, 2024. Pramaggiore will be sentenced Jan. 16, followed by Hooker who will be sentenced Jan. 25. Doherty is then scheduled for sentencing Jan. 30. The trial lasted nearly two months and jurors deliberated for 27 hours over five days before reaching their verdicts. Each of the defendants was found guilty on every charge they faced.
