Former Senate leader may testify at Ryan corruption trial
CHICAGO AP Former Illinois Senate President James Pate Philip may take the stand at the racketeering trial of former Gov George Ryan aide Scott Fawell and the Citizens for Ryan committee. Fawell’s lawyers push for Philip on Wednesday, aiming to counter key witness Larry Hall who testified about swapping campaign contributions for license plates. Prosecutors warned they hold material about Philip and Hall that could pressure Philip under cross examination. Philip’s appearance would be the trial’s likely final moment. Hall testified that he and Fawell swapped license plates for donations and steered funds to Philip to influence state actions. Fawell and the committee face a nine count racketeering indictment. Ryan faces no charges.
