Longtime former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan was sentenced to 90 months in prison on Friday for his February conviction on 10 corruption-related counts.

U.S. District Judge John Robert “Jack” Blakey delivered the sentence late Friday afternoon, which includes a $2.5 million fine and three years of supervised release after he serves his prison term.
