From the article ... 

Madigan spoke briefly before sentencing, asking to avoid prison so he could care for his wife and spend his final years with his family.

“I’m truly sorry for putting the people of the state of Illinois through this,” Madigan said. “I tried to do my best to serve the people of the state of Illinois. I am not perfect.”

Yep ... he tried his best to serve himself ... and EUREKA! ... he succeeded beyond his wildest imaginations ... until he got caught. And THAT ... getting caught ... is the only thing he's truly sorry about.
