Former Commonwealth Edison CEO Anne Pramaggiore is scheduled to resume testifying in her own defense Monday in the “ComEd Four” bribery trial.
The four defendants charged in the ComEd bribery scheme are, from left, consultant Jay Doherty, lobbyist and former ComEd executive John Hooker, retired lobbyist Michael McClain and former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore.
In a highly anticipated moment, Pramaggiore, 64, took the stand Thursday afternoon, testifying for about 45 minutes — before the trial wrapped for the week — about her rise as the top executive at ComEd and her professional relationship with Madigan.Under direct examination by her attorney, Pramaggiore was adamant that she never felt that ComEd had Madigan in its pocket.
A theater major from Dayton, Ohio, who rose to become one of Chicago’s top female executives, Pramaggiore has taken the rare and risky step to take the stand in her own defense, hoping to convince the jury she is the highly ethical and honest leader described by her long lineup of character witnesses, not the person on FBI wiretaps who seemed at ease with participating in an Illinois’ old-school, pay-to-play political system.
