CPS students walk out across the city

Good afternoon, Chicago.

Prosecutors are asking for up to about five years in prison for Tim Mapes, the former chief of staff to House Speaker Michael Madigan, arguing in a court filing late Monday that Mapes lied to a federal grand jury in a cynical attempt to protect his boss instead of serving the citizens of Illinois.

Mapes’ attorneys, meanwhile, asked in a filing of their own for a sentence of probation and community service, arguing he never stood to personally benefit from any of his alleged misstatements and that while he accepts the jury’s verdict he “disagrees with it and continues to maintain his innocence.”
