A federal judge sentenced former state Rep. Edward “Eddie” Acevedo” on Wednesday to six months in prison for cheating on his taxes in a prosecution that resulted from the same investigation that led to the indictment of former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan.
Before he announced the sentence, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly said “there’s a particular responsibility” of people who make laws and enforce laws “to comply with those laws.”
