Michael Madigan, once the state of Illinois’ most powerful politician during his decades-long run as Illinois House Speaker and chair of the Democratic Party of Illinois, has now joined the long list of local and state powerbrokers convicted on federal corruption charges.

Jurors found Madigan guilty of 10 counts against him and not guilty of seven others, including a charge of racketeering conspiracy. The jury reached no verdict on six other counts he faced.

A Chicago Democrat who once set much of Illinois' political agenda as the longest-serving legislative leader in U.S. history was convicted of conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud Wednesday in a mixed verdict in his high-profile corruption trial.
