Defense sums it up Concrete slush fund trial nearing jury
Former Illinois state senator Jack E. Walker and other lawmakers face conspiracy and fraud charges over an $80,000 ready mix slush fund meant to influence legislation. Defense argues small players bore the burden while big firms like Material Service Corp. and leader Lester Crown avoided accountability. The jury is expected to hear verdicts as the case nears submission.
