Judge Thomas Durkin's 45-page Memorandum Opinion & Order denying Jessica A. O'Brien's post-trial motions for a judgment of acquittal or, alternatively, for a new trial was entered yesterday. The opinion also denies O'Brien's motion for judgment of acquittal filed at the close of the government’s case, as well as her oral motions for a directed verdict at the close of the evidence and following the jury charge, both of which had been taken under advisement.

According to Jon Seidel's article posted last evening on the Sun-Times website, sentencing for O'Brien has been set for October 9.
The Judicial Inquiry Board has filed a case with the Illinois Courts Commission seeking to suspend O'Brien from her judicial position without pay or for any other relief available under Article 6, Section 15 of the 1970 Illinois Constitution (which may include removal from office). Hearing before the Courts Commission is presently scheduled for September 24.
