'ComEd Four' convicted in federal bribery trial, sparking reactions from lawmakers.

Four defendants, including two former ComEd executives, were convicted of bribery conspiracy in a Chicago trial that exposed pay-to-play politics in Illinois involving the state's largest electric utility and former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. Madigan, who has been indicted in the case, was not in court during the trial but featured in much of the key evidence. The convictions may not bode well for his prospects when he goes to trial next year. The defendants face a maximum five-year prison sentence for bribery conspiracy.
