Jurors on Tuesday returned for their 10th day of deliberations in the marathon corruption trial of ex-speaker Michael Madigan. Deliberations began the afternoon of Jan. 29 and as of Monday afternoon had lasted more than 57 hours. Their discussions have already lasted longer than those in some recent corruption trials: The jury in the “ComEd Four” bribery case, which featured evidence that overlapped significantly with some of the evidence in the Madigan trial, reached a verdict after about 27 hours. And jurors in the racketeering trial of former Ald. Ed Burke found him guilty in about 23 hours. The Madigan jurors…

Steve Bannon pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a fraud charge related to duping donors who gave money to a private effort to build a wall along the U.S. southern border — a case the conservative strategist has decried as a “political persecution.” Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to one scheme to defraud count as part of a plea agreement that spares him from jail time in the “We Build the Wall” scheme. He received a three-year conditional discharge, which requires that he stay out of trouble to avoid additional punishment. Asked how he was feeling…

When Malcolm Weale saw the tiny, dirt-covered object he’d unearthed in an English field, he knew it was something special. In his hand was a silver penny minted during the reign of Guthrum, a Viking commander who converted to Christianity and ruled eastern England in the ninth century as Athelstan II. For Weale, finding the first silver coin minted by a Viking ruler in Britain was the pinnacle of decades of hunting with his metal detector in the fields and forests near his home in eastern England. “I was shaking,” Weale said at the British Museum, where the coin was…

Ciara Chatman walked out of her Auburn Gresham home Monday night and was met by the glare of candlelight. The candles arranged on the sidewalk spelled out “DALILAH,” the name of her daughter. She stared at the flickering flames, then crumpled into the arms of a nephew who stood at her side. “The one time I let my baby outside, she didn’t come back,” Chatman, 35, said as she sat in the middle of the candles, rocking back and forth, gazing at posters of her daughter. It had been less than a day since Chatman’s daughter, 12-year-old Dalilah Batey, had…
More than two-dozen Christian and Jewish groups representing millions of Americans — ranging from the Episcopal Church and the Union for Reform Judaism to the Mennonites and Unitarian Universalists — filed a federal court lawsuit Tuesday challenging a Trump administration move giving immigration agents more leeway to make arrests at houses of worship. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, contends that the new policy is spreading fear of raids, thus lowering attendance at worship services and other valuable church programs. The result, says the suit, infringes on the groups’ religious freedom — namely their ability to minister…
