    7th Circ. Upholds Ex-Atty's Conviction In Burke Bribery Case

    The Seventh Circuit on Friday kept in place the conviction and 32-month prison sentence of a Chicago real estate developer and former attorney for offering legal work to ex-Alderman Edward Burke as a bribe for help with a zoning permit, finding the government presented sufficient evidence to support a guilty verdict and arguments to the contrary were "unavailing."

    Judges on a Seventh Circuit panel appeared doubtful Wednesday of a former attorney's contention that he never bribed ex-Chicago Alderman Ed Burke and was merely seeking to hire him for a legal matter.
