A federal judge on Monday ruled against Ald. Edward Burke and his co-defendants in a slew of pretrial motions seeking to suppress evidence and toss certain charges in his racketeering case.
The 194-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Dow means Burke’s case could finally be heading to trial more than three years after he was indicted. The judge has previously said a trial would likely come next year, since his calendar is backed up due to pandemic protocols.
They accused prosecutors of directing then-Ald. Daniel Solis, who was secretly cooperating in the investigation, to have “scripted interactions” with Burke and lie to curry favor with the government. At the time, Solis himself had been recorded “committing a number of different crimes,” the motion stated.But Dow said in his ruling that Burke’s arguments “largely go to the strength of the evidence, not the sufficiency of the indictment and wiretap application.
