In the eight months since his blockbuster indictment in March, a few scribbled signatures have been the only public sign that former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is personally engaged in the racketeering conspiracy case leveled against him.
Madigan did not speak during his original arraignment, held by telephone, earlier this year. His attorney did the talking then and entered a plea of not guilty. But Tuesday, Madigan faced arraignment all over again on last month’s superseding indictment that added a conspiracy charge involving AT&T Illinois.
