Former Teamsters boss John T. Coli Sr. is asking a federal judge to give him home confinement and probation instead of prison time next week when he is set to be sentenced for illegally collecting $325,000 from Cinespace Chicago Film Studios.
In a 30-page memo filed late Wednesday, defense attorney Joseph Duffy pointed to Coli’s declining health, including a heart attack earlier this year, as well as Coli’s cooperation with prosecutors against former state Sen. Thomas Cullerton.
