(The Center Square) – A federal judge ruled Wednesday that former state Rep. Eddie Acevedo, D-Chicago, is required to testify at the public corruption trial of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and codefendant Michael McClain.
Judge John Robert Blakey denied defense attorneys’ motion to quash Acevedo’s subpoena Wednesday morning. Blakey said the court considered the entire record and pointed to the distinction between the credibility of the witness and competency to testify.
