4:52 PM: McGee appeals to constituents
Jailed Milwaukee Ald. Michael McGee released a statement this afternoon appealing to voters in his district let the legal system run its course and let "us witness first hand whether Mother Justice is blind, and whether there is only one legal system for all."
McGee is in jail awaiting trial on state and federal charges. He is running for re-election for his City Council seat tomorrow against Milele Coggs.
"I want my constituents to know that this is a short term situation and that sooner, rather than later, I'll be free," McGee said in a statement.
