Former Chicago Alderman Ed Burke faces a 10-year prison sentence for public corruption, according to federal prosecutors. Burke is accused of illegally using his influence to strong-arm developers and threaten a cultural icon for personal benefit. This proposed sentence could be one of the harshest in the city's federal court in the last decade. Burke's lawyers argue for no prison time, suggesting a more compassionate approach for the 80-year-old.
