A judge has denied a last ditch effort by former Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee Junior's attorneys to dismiss the case against their client.  Following a hearing today, the case will now head to a final pre-trial hearing next month before McGee goes to trial on a myriad of state charges.

On Friday, McGee's attorneys asked for the court to throw out some evidence - including wire tap evidence, but Judge Dennis Moroney denied those requests.

McGee's faces seven state felony charges, including:
• Two counts of substantial battery with intent of bodily harm,
• Three counts of election bribery,
• One count of election fraud,
• One count of intently filing a false campaign report.

He also faces five misdemeanors:
• One count of engaging in electioneering during polling hours at a polling place on Election Day,  
• One count of theft by a bailee, and
• Three counts of contempt of court by disobeying an order.

U.S. authorities have scheduled his federal trial for June.  There, he faces nine charges, including:
• Three counts of extortion,
• Five counts of bribery, and
• One count of currency reporting transaction requirements.

All combined, McGee could receive up to 115 years in prison, but federal sentencing rules would dramatically lower that amount.
