Former IL House Speaker Michael Madigan to return to stand in own defense in corruption trial
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan returns to the stand Wednesday . It was surprise and risky decision to testify by a man famously tight-lipped with the media. It may be an attempt to counter his own words from a mountain of prosecution recordings.
