Former state senator and one-time gubernatorial hopeful Sam McCann is seeking a delay of at least four months in his trial on federal charges of money laundering, tax evasion and misuse of campaign funds.
In a motion filed July 6 in U.S. District Court in Springfield, Assistant Federal Public Defender Rosana E. Brown said the complexity of the charges and the volume of information turned over in the discovery process requires her to “seek a contract for discovery review software capable of organizing the voluminous discovery.” The motion said the software is necessary “to review essential discovery with the defendant once it is organized and made searchable into a manageable software program, to conduct investigation, and consult with the defendant therefrom, and to either negotiate with the government or prepare for jury trial.”
The motion said more than 64,000 pages of material has been presented in the case.
Brown was appointed to represent McCann after his Feb. 23 indictment. McCann, who is free on bond, told the court at the time that he is unemployed, $53,000 in debt, and has about $500 in his checking account.
He’s already had one delay, but the prosecution is not thrilled with this new request. Click here to read about it.

Waiting for Rauner to say…
“Well, we took each other out”
As to McCann… that pick up truck was a gas guzzler in the end

==Waiting for Rauner to say…
“Well, we took each other out”==
Or for the Governor to say, “I took all three out. McCann, Rauner, and Madigan.”

What’s Kash Jackson up to these days on the legal front? Is he paying up on his child support?

=== Or for the Governor to say===
The riff was off the ridiculous quote Rauner had to the Dartmouth Alum magazine…
… but I guess Pritzker could say it, but when you win, you don’t need to say anything.
All good.

I wonder whose idea it was for McCann to run third party Governor campaign. Whoever it was can take credit for Sam’s demise.
