That is how long it’s been since the 3-person panel of Lawgivers-In-Black on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals released Georgia Thompson from Club Fed, and there is still no opinion from them to back up their order. Inquiring minds from Madison to Chicago, both in politics and organized crime (or are they really one and the same?), want to know whether there is something specific about this case that caused a crash-stop reversal of Thompson’s conviction that they can exploit or whether the new standard is that, as long as the fixer remains clammed up, no conviction in the Great Lakes will remain upright.
