Opening arguments end in trial of Patrick Daley Thompson
Opening arguments are over in the trial of Patrick Daley Thompson. The South Side alderman is accused of filing false federal tax returns.
CHICAGO - Closing arguments are expected to begin Monday in the federal tax trial of Chicago Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson.
Thompson is accused of filing false tax returns and lying to federal bank regulators about a $219,000 loan that he received from a failed Bridgeport bank.
Thompson's attorney says he is not a criminal, just not good with managing the details of his money.
Thompson is the grandson and nephew of two legendary Chicago mayors, Richard M. Daley and Richard J. Daley.
