I don't believe Ogilvie was ever indicted.

He was indicted although the case might not have went to trial. It had to do with some kind of race track deal that he was involved with. The indictment dealt with actions that occurred after he left office. Since in Illinois, politics is a criminal brotherhood which encompasses both so called parties, any time any political hack gets indicted, you can be sure, that he is not innocent. The most amazing thing about Georgie Boy Ryan was that no elected pol in either party ever called for him to resign, mainly because they exploited his political weakeness stemming from the corruption in his Secretary of State's office to get favors and deals from him.
