CHICAGO — After years of delay, Alderman Edward Burke finally has a trial date in his blockbuster federal racketeering case. But don’t hold your breath.
During a status hearing in the case Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Dow set the date for jury selection for Nov. 6, 2023, nearly five years after Burke’s City Hall offices were raided by the FBI and months after the next citywide election, where Burke could potentially be vying for a record 14th full term.
The trial is expected to last about six weeks.
